[PATCH v2] statmount: Fix the null-ptr-deref in do_statmount()
From: Qing Wang
Date: Fri Feb 13 2026 - 05:15:00 EST
If the mount is internal, it's mnt_ns will be MNT_NS_INTERNAL, which is
defined as ERR_PTR(-EINVAL). So, in the do_statmount(), need to check ns
of mount by IS_ERR() and return.
Fixes: 0e5032237ee5 ("statmount: accept fd as a parameter")
