This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSv4: Fix memory corruption in nfs4_proc_open_confirm to the 3.12-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: nfsv4-fix-memory-corruption-in-nfs4_proc_open_confirm.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 17ead6c85c3d0ef57a14d1373f1f1cee2ce60ea8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 1 Feb 2014 14:53:23 -0500 Subject: NFSv4: Fix memory corruption in nfs4_proc_open_confirm From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 17ead6c85c3d0ef57a14d1373f1f1cee2ce60ea8 upstream. nfs41_wake_and_assign_slot() relies on the task->tk_msg.rpc_argp and task->tk_msg.rpc_resp always pointing to the session sequence arguments. nfs4_proc_open_confirm tries to pull a fast one by reusing the open sequence structure, thus causing corruption of the NFSv4 slot table.
