From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> If an NFSv2/v3 client breaks an NFSv4 client's delegation, it will hit a NULL dereference in nfsd_breaker_owns_lease(). Easily reproduceable with for example mount -overs=4.2 server:/export /mnt/ sleep 1h </mnt/file & mount -overs=3 server:/export /mnt2/ touch /mnt2/file Reported-by: Robert Dinse <nanook@xxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 28df3d1539de50 ("nfsd: clients don't need to break their own delegations") Signed-off-by: J.
