From af4e36318edb848fcc0a8d5f75000ca00cdc7595 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryusuke Konishi Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:42:24 +0900 Subject: nilfs2: fix list corruption after ifile creation failure If nilfs_attach_checkpoint() gets a memory allocation failure during creation of ifile, it will return without removing nilfs_sb_info struct from ns_supers list. When a concurrently mounted snapshot is unmounted or another new snapshot is mounted after that, this causes kernel oops as below: > BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) > IP: [] nilfs_find_sbinfo+0x74/0xa4 [nilfs2] > *pde = 00000000 > Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP > Call Trace: > [] ? nilfs_get_sb+0x165/0x532 [nilfs2] > [] ? ida_get_new_above+0x16d/0x187 > [] ? alloc_vfsmnt+0x7e/0x10a > [] ? kstrdup+0x2c/0x40 > [] ? vfs_kern_mount+0x96/0x14e > [] ? do_kern_mount+0x32/0xbd > [] ? do_mount+0x642/0x6a1 > [] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x2d1 > [] ? copy_mount_options+0x80/0xe2 > [] ? strndup_user+0x48/0x67 > [] ? sys_mount+0x61/0x90 > [] ? sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x22 This fixes the problem.

This turns out to be a false message due to the change which updates two super blocks alternately. The secondary super block now can be selected if it's newer than the primary one. This kills the false warning by suppressing it if another super block is not actually broken.
