Or, if rqst->rq_iov is NULL. The second scenario could happen for smb2_queryfs() if the call to SMB2_query_info_init() fails and we go to qfs_exit to clean up and free all resources. In that case we have not yet assigned rqst[2].rq_iov and thus the rq_iov dereference in SMB2_close_free() will cause a NULL pointer dereference.
