This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nfsd: memory corruption in nfsd4_lock() to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nfsd-memory-corruption-in-nfsd4_lock.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a9d40bbf3edae7436029f12d1e35372848740d06 Author: Vasily Averin <vvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 27 07:50:40 2020 +0300 nfsd: memory corruption in nfsd4_lock() commit e1e8399eee72e9d5246d4d1bcacd793debe34dd3 upstream. New struct nfsd4_blocked_lock allocated in find_or_allocate_block() does not initialized nbl_list and nbl_lru. If conflock allocation fails rollback can call list_del_init() access uninitialized fields and corrupt memory. v2: just initialize nbl_list and nbl_lru right after nbl allocation.
