4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Amir Goldstein <[email protected]> commit 8fc646b44385ff0a9853f6590497e43049eeb311 upstream. On failure to prepare_creds(), mount fails with a random return value, as err was last set to an integer cast of a valid lower mnt pointer or set to 0 if inodes index feature is enabled.
