[PATCH 1/5] fanotify: do not dereference inode_mark when it is unset

From: Eric Paris
Date: Wed Aug 18 2010 - 12:30:05 EST


The fanotify code is supposed to get the group from the mark. It accidentally
only used the inode_mark. If the vfsmount_mark was set but not the inode_mark
it would deref the NULL inode_mark. Get the group from the correct place.
