If fuse_fill_super_submount() returns an error, the error path triggers a crash: [ 26.206673] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [...] [ 26.226362] RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0x25/0x90 [...] [ 26.247938] Call Trace: [ 26.248300] fuse_mount_remove+0x2c/0x70 [fuse] [ 26.248892] virtio_kill_sb+0x22/0x160 [virtiofs] [ 26.249487] deactivate_locked_super+0x36/0xa0 [ 26.250077] fuse_dentry_automount+0x178/0x1a0 [fuse] The crash happens because fuse_mount_remove() assumes that the FUSE mount was already added to list under the FUSE connection, but this only done after fuse_fill_super_submount() has returned success. This means that until fuse_fill_super_submount() has returned success, the FUSE mount isn't actually owned by the superblock. We should thus reclaim ownership by clearing sb->s_fs_info, which will skip the call to fuse_mount_remove(), and perform rollback, like virtio_fs_get_tree() already does for the root sb.

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.
