The patch titled
knfsd: avoid Oops if buggy userspace performs confusing filehandle->dentry mapping
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
knfsd-avoid-oops-if-buggy-userspace-performs-confusing-filehandle-dentry-mapping.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: knfsd: avoid Oops if buggy userspace performs confusing filehandle->dentry mapping
From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>
When a lookup request arrives, nfsd uses information provided by userspace
(mountd) to find the right filesystem.
It then assumes that the same filehandle type as the incoming filehandle can
be used to create an outgoing filehandle.
However if mountd is buggy, or maybe just being creative, the filesystem may
not support that filesystem type, and the kernel could oops, particularly if
'ex_uuid' is NULL but a FSID_UUID* filehandle type is used.
So add some proper checking that the fsid version/type from the incoming
filehandle is actually supportable, and ignore that information if it isn't
supportable.
