We recently ported util-linux to the new mount api. Now the mount(8) tool will by default use the new mount api. While trying hard to fall back to the old mount api gracefully there are still cases where we run into issues that are difficult to handle nicely. Now with mount(8) and libmount supporting the new mount api I expect an increase in the number of bug reports and issues we're going to see with filesystems that don't yet support the new mount api. So it's time we rectify this. When ovl_fill_super() fails before setting sb->s_root, we need to cleanup sb->s_fs_info. The logic is a bit convoluted but tl;dr: If sget_fc() has succeeded fc->s_fs_info will have been transferred to sb->s_fs_info. So by the time ->fill_super()/ovl_fill_super() is called fc->s_fs_info is NULL consequently fs_context->free() won't call ovl_free_fs(). If we fail before sb->s_root() is set then ->put_super() won't be called which would call ovl_free_fs(). IOW, if we fail in ->fill_super() before sb->s_root we have to clean it up.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
