Eric Sandeen d6ddf55440 [PATCH] hfs_fill_super returns success even if no root inode
http://kernelfun.blogspot.com/2006/11/mokb-14-11-2006-linux-26x-selinux.html

mount that image...
fs: filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, running fsck.hfs is recommended.  mounting read-only.
hfs: get root inode failed.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000018

hfs_fill_super() returns success even if
  root_inode = hfs_iget(sb, &fd.search_key->cat, &rec);
or
  sb->s_root = d_alloc_root(root_inode);

fails.  This superblock finds its way to superblock_doinit() which does:

        struct dentry *root = sb->s_root;
        struct inode *inode = root->d_inode;

and boom.  Need to make sure the error cases return an error, I think.
