2019-12-19 06:57:00 Juerg Haefliger description [598428.945633] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038 ... [598428.945749] Workqueue: cifsoplockd cifs_oplock_break [cifs] [598428.945793] RIP: 0010:smb2_push_mandatory_locks+0xd6/0x5a0 [cifs] ...

The latter happens before initializing all other fields, e.g. cfile->tlink. Thus a partially initialized cifsFileInfo structure becomes available to other threads that walk through the inode's lock list. One example of such a thread may be an oplock break worker thread that tries to push all cached byte-range locks. This causes NULL-pointer dereference in smb2_push_mandatory_locks() when accessing cfile->tlink: [598428.945633] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038 ...

[Fix] Backport commit 6f582b273ec23332074d970a7fb25bef835df71f ("CIFS: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in smb2_push_mandatory_locks") [Regression Potential] Low. The patch is fairly simple and it's tagged for stable kernels. In fact it is already in some of the released upstream stable kernels.
