cachefiles_ondemand_init_object() as called from cachefiles_open_file() and cachefiles_create_tmpfile() does not check if object->ondemand is set before dereferencing it, leading to an oops something like: RIP: 0010:cachefiles_ondemand_init_object+0x9/0x41 ... Call Trace: <TASK> cachefiles_open_file+0xc9/0x187 cachefiles_lookup_cookie+0x122/0x2be fscache_cookie_state_machine+0xbe/0x32b fscache_cookie_worker+0x1f/0x2d process_one_work+0x136/0x208 process_scheduled_works+0x3a/0x41 worker_thread+0x1a2/0x1f6 kthread+0xca/0xd2 ret_from_fork+0x21/0x33 Fix this by making the calls to cachefiles_ondemand_init_object() conditional.
