From: Luis Henriques <lhenriques@xxxxxxx> commit e5cafce3ad0f8652d6849314d951459c2bff7233 upstream. A NULL pointer dereference may occur in __ceph_remove_cap with some of the callbacks used in ceph_iterate_session_caps, namely trim_caps_cb and remove_session_caps_cb. Those callers hold the session->s_mutex, so they are prevented from concurrent execution, but ceph_evict_inode does not. Since the callers of this function hold the i_ceph_lock, the fix is simply a matter of returning immediately if caps->ci is NULL.
