[PATCH] ceph: Fix uninitialized dentry pointer in ceph_real_mount()
From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Thu Oct 13 2016 - 11:17:00 EST
fs/ceph/super.c: In function âceph_real_mountâ:
fs/ceph/super.c:818: warning: ârootâ may be used uninitialized in this function
If s_root is already valid, dentry pointer root is never initialized,
and returned by ceph_real_mount(). This will cause a crash later when
the caller dereferences the pointer.
Fix this by initializing root early.
Fixes: ce2728aaa82bbeba ("ceph: avoid accessing / when mounting a subpath")
