[PATCH 6.18 300/309] netfs: Fix read abandonment during retry

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 7e57523490cd2efb52b1ea97f2e0a74c0fb634cd ]

Under certain circumstances, all the remaining subrequests from a read
request will get abandoned during retry.  The abandonment process expects
the 'subreq' variable to be set to the place to start abandonment from, but
it doesn't always have a useful value (it will be uninitialised on the
first pass through the loop and it may point to a deleted subrequest on
later passes).

Fix the first jump to "abandon:" to set subreq to the start of the first
subrequest expected to need retry (which, in this abandonment case, turned
out unexpectedly to no longer have NEED_RETRY set).

Also clear the subreq pointer after discarding superfluous retryable
subrequests to cause an oops if we do try to access it.
