From 996fc4477a0ea28226b30d175f053fb6f9a4fa36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2017 23:44:11 -0500 Subject: ext4: add missing error check in __ext4_new_inode() It's possible for ext4_get_acl() to return an ERR_PTR. So we need to add a check for this case in __ext4_new_inode(). Otherwise on an error we can end up oops the kernel. This was getting triggered by xfstests generic/388, which is a test which exercises the shutdown code path.
