From e31da3f98d3b8626b32cf7806ef4da540bf70820 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Burrow Date: Wed, 28 May 2014 21:05:55 -0500 Subject: JFS: Check for NULL before calling posix_acl_equiv_mode() Check for NULL before using the acl in the access type switch statement. This seems to be consistent with what is done in the JFFS and ext4 filesystems and with the behaviour of JFS in the 3.13 kernel. The bug seemed to be introduced in commit 2cc6a5a0. The bug results in a kernel Oops, NULL dereference could not be handled when accessing a JFS filesystem. The rdiff-backup process seemed to trigger the bug.
