The main reason of the issue that struct hfsplus_inode_info
has not been properly initialized for the case of root folder.
In the case of root folder, hfsplus_fill_super() calls
the hfsplus_iget() that implements only partial initialization of
struct hfsplus_inode_info and subfolders field is not
initialized by hfsplus_iget() logic.

This patch implements complete initialization of
struct hfsplus_inode_info in the hfsplus_iget() logic with
the goal to prevent likewise issues for the case of
root folder.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-40351 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
