[ Upstream commit 5cd740287ae5e3f9d1c46f5bfe8778972fd6d3fe ] In ext4_fill_super(), EXT4_ORPHAN_FS flag is cleared after ext4_orphan_cleanup() is executed. Therefore, when __ext4_iget() is called to get an inode whose i_nlink is 0 when the flag exists, no error is returned. If the inode is a special inode, a null pointer dereference may occur. If the value of i_nlink is 0 for any inodes (except boot loader inodes) got by using the EXT4_IGET_SPECIAL flag, the current file system is corrupted. Therefore, make the ext4_iget() function return an error if it gets such an abnormal special inode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
