From: Zeng Heng <zengheng4@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 153695d36ead0ccc4d0256953c751cabf673e621 ] `hostname` needs to be set as null-pointer after free in `cifs_put_tcp_session` function, or when `cifsd` thread attempts to resolve hostname and reconnect the host, the thread would deref the invalid pointer. Here is one of practical backtrace examples as reference: Task 477 --------------------------- do_mount path_mount do_new_mount vfs_get_tree smb3_get_tree smb3_get_tree_common cifs_smb3_do_mount cifs_mount mount_put_conns cifs_put_tcp_session --> kfree(server->hostname) cifsd --------------------------- kthread cifs_demultiplex_thread cifs_reconnect reconn_set_ipaddr_from_hostname --> if (!server->hostname) --> if (server->hostname[0] == '\0') // !!
