Hi, Nick Desaulnier,

This may disrupt the logic of this function. So maybe the past one is better.

322         if (!hostname)
323                 return NULL;
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^
If we return in this place.
                                                                                         
324         if (memchr(hostname, '/', hostname_len) != NULL) {
325                 if (printk_ratelimit()) {
326                         printk(KERN_WARNING "Invalid hostname \"%.*s\" "
327                                             "in NFS lock request\n",
328                                 (int)hostname_len, hostname);
329                 }
330                 return NULL;
331         }
332
333 retry:
334         spin_lock(&nsm_lock);
335
336         if (nsm_use_hostnames && hostname != NULL)
337                 cached = nsm_lookup_hostname(&ln->nsm_handles,
338                                         hostname, hostname_len);
339         else
340                 cached = nsm_lookup_addr(&ln->nsm_handles, sap);
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This case will be broken when hostname is NULL.

341
342         if (cached != NULL) {
343                 refcount_inc(&cached->sm_count);
344                 spin_unlock(&nsm_lock);
345                 kfree(new);
346                 dprintk("lockd: found nsm_handle for %s (%s), "
347                                 "cnt %d\n", cached->sm_name,
348                                 cached->sm_addrbuf,
349                                 refcount_read(&cached->sm_count));
350                 return cached;
351         }

Hi, Dan,

Great eye!
Should I send a separate patch for this bug and add you as Reported-by ?
