CIFS: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in smb2_push_mandatory_locks commit 6f582b273ec23332074d970a7fb25bef835df71f upstream. 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: [598428.945633] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038 ...
