4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxxx> commit cfd278c280f997cf2fe4662e0acab0fe465f637b upstream. Various places assume that if nfs4_fl_prepare_ds() turns a non-NULL 'ds', then ds->ds_clp will also be non-NULL. This is not necessasrily true in the case when the process received a fatal signal while nfs4_pnfs_ds_connect is waiting in nfs4_wait_ds_connect(). In that case ->ds_clp may not be set, and the devid may not recently have been marked unavailable. So add a test for ds_clp == NULL and return NULL in that case.
