| |
In alloc_inode, inode_init_always could return -NOMEM if security_inode_alloc fails. In its error handling, i_callback and nilfs_free_inode will be called. However, because inode->i_private is not initialized due to the failure of security_inode_alloc, the function nilfs_is_metadata_file_inode can return true and nilfs_mdt_destroy will be executed to lead to GPF bug.
Fix this bug by moving the assignment of inode->i_private before security_inode_alloc.
BTW, this bug is triggered by fault injection in the syzkaller.
