Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fsnotify: fix NULL dereference in send_to_group()
Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 00:55:41 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1283023542-1251-1-git-send-email-csaba@gluster.com> (raw)
If fanotify is triggered via a vfsmount mark (so that there is
no inode mark, group in send_to_group() is set from a structure
member where the struct pointer is NULL.
This can be tested with the fanotify utility available from
http://people.redhat.com/eparis/fanotify/:
# fanotify -m / & touch /x
