cifs: cope with negative dentries in cifs_get_root
commit 80975d21aae2136ccae1ce914a1602dc1d8b0795 upstream. The loop around lookup_one_len doesn't handle the case where it might return a negative dentry, which can cause an oops on the next pass through the loop. Check for that and break out of the loop with an error of -ENOENT if there is one. Fixes the panic reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727927 Reported-by: TR Bentley <home@trarbentley.net> Reported-by: Iain Arnell <iarnell@gmail.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
