Subject[PATCH 4.19 021/421] ext4: return error code when ext4_fill_flex_info() fails
Date
From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@huawei.com>

commit 8f6840c4fd1e7bd715e403074fb161c1a04cda73 upstream.

After commit c89128a00838 ("ext4: handle errors on
ext4_commit_super"), 'ret' may be set to 0 before calling
ext4_fill_flex_info(), if ext4_fill_flex_info() fails ext4_mount()
doesn't return error code, it makes 'root' is null which causes crash
in legacy_get_tree().

Fixes: c89128a00838 ("ext4: handle errors on ext4_commit_super")
