[ 05/82] exofs: Fix CRASH on very early IO errors.

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Fri Jun 08 2012 - 01:07:28 EST


3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6abe4a87f7bc7978705c386dbba0ca0c7790b3ec upstream.

If at exofs_fill_super() we had an early termination
do to any error, like an IO error while reading the
super-block. We would crash inside exofs_free_sbi().

This is because sbi->oc.numdevs was set to 1, before
we actually have a device table at all.

Fix it by moving the sbi->oc.numdevs = 1 to after the
allocation of the device table.

Reported-by: Johannes Schild <JSchild@xxxxxx>

Stable: This is a bug since v3.2.0
