At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path out of that function returns ret. However, the generic_check_addressable clause sets ret = 0 (if it passes), which means that a subsequent failure (e.g. a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail. This causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an oops. A simple fix is to avoid using ret for the generic_check_addressable check, which was last changed in commit 30ca22c70e3ef0a96ff84de69cd7e8561b416cb2. v2: Return -EFBIG in the error case, per Eric Sandeen's suggestion.
