Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the NILFS2 file system implementation in the Linux kernel. If the i_mode field in inode of the metadata files is corrupted on the disk, it can cause the initialization of the bmap structure not being called, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference at nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level. A user permitted to mount arbitrary file system images could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.	Story Points:	---
