[PATCH next] fuse: Uninitialized variable in fuse_epoch_work()

From: Dan Carpenter

Date: Fri Nov 21 2025 - 08:34:13 EST


The "fm" pointer is either valid or uninitialized so checking for NULL
doesn't work. Check the "inode" pointer instead.

Fixes: 64becd224ff9 ("fuse: new work queue to invalidate dentries from old epochs")
