If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3dd2ff4a136a7eca6c41973ba833f250a72e8f6c Author: Su Hui <suhui@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 4 09:26:57 2023 +0800 fs: lockd: avoid possible wrong NULL parameter [ Upstream commit de8d38cf44bac43e83bad28357ba84784c412752 ] clang's static analysis warning: fs/lockd/mon.c: line 293, column 2: Null pointer passed as 2nd argument to memory copy function. Assuming 'hostname' is NULL and calling 'nsm_create_handle()', this will pass NULL as 2nd argument to memory copy function 'memcpy()'. So return NULL if 'hostname' is invalid.
