    CIFS: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in smb2_push_mandatory_locks · 6f582b27
    Pavel Shilovsky authored
    Currently when the client creates a cifsFileInfo structure for
    a newly opened file, it allocates a list of byte-range locks
    with a pointer to the new cfile and attaches this list to the
    inode's lock list. 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:

    Fix this by reordering initialization steps of the cifsFileInfo
    structure: initialize all the fields first and then add the new
    byte-range lock list to the inode's lock list.
