Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 2/2] lockd: fix NULL dereference on lockowner allocation failure
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 07:47:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909114739.2012290-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909114739.2012290-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Shuangpeng Bai <shuangpeng.kernel@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 4c7fc129db061c7daab841c4f3c342d894832362 ]
nlmclnt_locks_init_private() installs NLM file lock operations even when
nlmclnt_find_lockowner() fails to allocate a lockowner. nlmclnt_proc()
then returns -ENOMEM, but the VFS still tears down the partially
initialized file_lock and calls locks_release_private().
That invokes nlmclnt_locks_release_private(), which dereferences
fl->fl_u.nfs_fl.owner and crashes because the owner was never installed.
Clear fl_ops before attempting to initialize the NLM private state, and
install the NLM lock operations only after a lockowner has been allocated
successfully.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
