device-dax: fix 'dax' device filesystem inode destruction crash
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The inode destruction path for the 'dax' device filesystem incorrectly
assumes that the inode was initialized through 'alloc_dax()'. However,
if someone attempts to directly mount the dax filesystem with 'mount -t
dax dax mnt' that will bypass 'alloc_dax()' and the following failure
signatures may occur as a result:

 kill_dax() must be called before final iput()

Add missing initialization of the 'struct dax_device' and inode so that
the destruction path does not kfree() or ida_simple_remove()
uninitialized data.

Fixes: 7b6be84 ("dax: refactor dax-fs into a generic provider of 'struct dax_device' instances")
