| |
Greetings,
When attempting to load a compressed ramdisk from a floppy, the kernel has a NULL pointer dereference. The problem occurs inside of rd_load_image(). rd_load_image() -> identify_ramdisk_image() -> do_generic_file_read() -> update_atime() is the call trace. inode->i_sb is not being set somewhere and the macro IS_NOATIME attempts to dereference it.
#define IS_NOATIME(inode) (__IS_FLG(inode, MS_NOATIME) || ((inode)->i_flags & S_NOATIME))
#define __IS_FLG(inode,flg) ((inode)->i_sb->s_flags & (flg))
Any ideas where inode->i_sb should be set? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
