The reason is the same with 8bd90b6ae7856("erofs: fix NULL dereference of
dif->bdev_handle in fscache mode") in mainline. So we should backport this
patch into stable linux-6.6.y to avoid this bug.
Yes, commit 8bd90b6ae785 should be backported to
Linux 6.6.y LTS immediately.
BTW, It seems that
commit "erofs: Convert to use bdev_open_by_path()" was
backported as a dependency since v6.6.23 even I
explicitly commented that this patch is unnecessary
and I tend to manually backport instead as below:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZgDHG8Ucl3EkY4ZS@debian
However, my comment was eventually ignored and
some other related fix like
"erofs: fix NULL dereference of dif->bdev_handle in fscache mode"
wasn't backported along with
"erofs: Convert to use bdev_open_by_path()"
Sorry, I missed that somehow, my fault.
So the affected 6.6 LTS versions seem to be
v6.6.23 ~ v6.6.35 (current)
So what specifically should we do here?
Thanks for the reply.. Honestly I'd like to revert
block: Provide bdev_open_* functions
erofs: Convert to use bdev_open_by_path()
erofs: fix handling kern_mount() failure
Not quite sure if they can be cleanly reverted, but
since the upstream doen't have 'bdev_handle' anymore,
I will resend a proper backport for
"erofs: fix handling kern_mount() failure".
Thanks,
Gao Xiang
