From 59a63e479ce36a3f24444c3a36efe82b78e4a8e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ronnie Sahlberg Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2018 08:06:16 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: check ntwrk_buf_start for NULL before dereferencing it RHBZ: 1021460 There is an issue where when multiple threads open/close the same directory ntwrk_buf_start might end up being NULL, causing the call to smbCalcSize later to oops with a NULL deref. The real bug is why this happens and why this can become NULL for an open cfile, which should not be allowed. This patch tries to avoid a oops until the time when we fix the underlying issue.
