nfs: handle failure of nfs_get_lock_context in unlock path
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit c457dc1 ]

When memory is insufficient, the allocation of nfs_lock_context in
nfs_get_lock_context() fails and returns -ENOMEM. If we mistakenly treat
an nfs4_unlockdata structure (whose l_ctx member has been set to -ENOMEM)
as valid and proceed to execute rpc_run_task(), this will trigger a NULL
pointer dereference in nfs4_locku_prepare. For example:

Free the allocated nfs4_unlockdata when nfs_get_lock_context() fails and
return NULL to terminate subsequent rpc_run_task, preventing NULL pointer
dereference.
