If fscache_alloc_cookie encounters memory allocation failure, it will go to nomem label and invoke fscache_free_cookie. However, fscache_alloc_cookie assumes current cookie is already linked into fscache_cookies and directly calls list_del. This assumption does not hold since list_add is not called in the above scenario. As a result, it will lead to Null Pointer Dereference. The stack trace is in the following. Call Trace: __list_del_entry include/linux/list.h:132 [inline] list_del include/linux/list.h:146 [inline] fscache_free_cookie fs/fscache/cookie.c:71 [inline] fscache_free_cookie+0x3f/0x100 fs/fscache/cookie.c:66 fscache_alloc_cookie+0x2e2/0x300 fs/fscache/cookie.c:195 __fscache_acquire_cookie fs/fscache/cookie.c:296 [inline] __fscache_acquire_cookie+0x132/0x380 fs/fscache/cookie.c:257 fscache_acquire_cookie include/linux/fscache.h:334 [inline] v9fs_cache_session_get_cookie+0x74/0x120 fs/9p/cache.c:60 v9fs_session_init+0x724/0xa90 fs/9p/v9fs.c:471 v9fs_mount+0x56/0x450 fs/9p/vfs_super.c:126 legacy_get_tree+0x2b/0x90 fs/fs_context.c:610 vfs_get_tree+0x28/0x100 fs/super.c:1498 do_new_mount fs/namespace.c:2988 [inline] path_mount+0xb92/0xfe0 fs/namespace.c:3318 do_mount+0xa1/0xc0 fs/namespace.c:3331 __do_sys_mount fs/namespace.c:3539 [inline] __se_sys_mount fs/namespace.c:3516 [inline] __x64_sys_mount+0xf4/0x160 fs/namespace.c:3516 Fix this by moving the list_add_tail before goto statements.
