Subject: [PATCH] lockd: fix NULL dereference on lockowner allocation failure
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 13:28:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717172809.1591290-1-shuangpeng.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)

nlmclnt_locks_init_private() installs NLM file lock operations even when
nlmclnt_find_lockowner() fails to allocate a lockowner. nlmclnt_proc()
then returns -ENOMEM, but the VFS still tears down the partially
initialized file_lock and calls locks_release_private().

That invokes nlmclnt_locks_release_private(), which dereferences
fl->fl_u.nfs_fl.owner and crashes because the owner was never installed.

Clear fl_ops before attempting to initialize the NLM private state, and
install the NLM lock operations only after a lockowner has been allocated
successfully.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
