From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This reverts commit c54a881d793e3eea2a1b1460c5778b22128821ea which is commit 05fd5c2c61732152a6bddc318aae62d7e436629b upstream. Lars writes: This patch should not be in 4.14-stable because 088aaf17aa79300cab14dbee2569c58cfafd7d6e was for 4.18+. Now we have a double-free crash in SMB2_read because there are 2 calls to cifs_small_buf_release in the error path. It was a mistake to backport it this far, so let's revert it.
