Subject[PATCH] fs: fix GPF in nilfs_mdt_destroy
Date
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.
