[PATCH] hugetlbfs: initialize shared policy as part of inode allocation

[PATCH] hugetlbfs: initialize shared policy as part of inode allocation

[Mike Kravetz]

Any time after inode allocation, destroy_inode can be called.  The
hugetlbfs inode contains a shared_policy structure, and
mpol_free_shared_policy is unconditionally called as part of
hugetlbfs_destroy_inode.  Initialize the policy as part of inode
allocation so that any quick (error path) calls to destroy_inode
will be handed an initialized policy.

syzkaller fuzzer found this bug, that resulted in the following:

I think you can as well do

-		struct hugetlbfs_inode_info *info;
-		info = HUGETLBFS_I(inode);
-		mpol_shared_policy_init(&info->policy, NULL);

in hugetlbfs_get_root().

Thank you.  You are correct.
After doing shared policy initialization at inode allocation time,
it is redundant here.

I will send v2 patch with this modification.
