Eryu Guan 7e86600606 fs/binfmt_misc.c: node could be NULL when evicting inode
inode->i_private is assigned by a Node pointer only after registering a
new binary format, so it could be NULL if inode was created by
bm_fill_super() (or iput() was called by the error path in
bm_register_write()), and this could result in NULL pointer dereference
when evicting such an inode.  e.g.  mount binfmt_misc filesystem then
umount it immediately:

  mount -t binfmt_misc binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
  umount /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc

will result in

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000013

Fix it by making sure Node (e) is not NULL.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
