From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5e0b17b026eb7c6de9baa9b0d45a51b05f05abe1 ] If an error occurs during the construction of an afs superblock, it's possible that an error occurs after a superblock is created, but before we've created the root dentry. If the superblock has a dynamic root (ie. what's normally mounted on /afs), the afs_kill_super() will call afs_dynroot_depopulate() to unpin any created dentries - but this will oops if the root hasn't been created yet. Fix this by skipping that bit of code if there is no root dentry. This leads to an oops looking like: general protection fault, ...
