>From a345a80ca7a926c9c6e322a1e8add4817c834d0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Bader Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 11:26:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] jfs: Fix early release of acl in jfs_get_acl BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/396780 Commit 073aaa1b142461d91f83da66db1184d7c1b1edea "helpers for acl caching + switch to those" introduced new helper function for acl handling but seems to introduce a regression for jfs as the acl is released before returning it to the caller, instead of leaving this for the caller to do. This causes the acl object to be used after freeing it, leading to kernel panics at completely different places. Thanks to Christophe Dumez for reporting and bisecting into this.
