6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 59d8d24f4610333560cf2e8fe3f44cafe30322eb ] The patch e2b76ab8b5c9: "ksmbd: add support for read compound" leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: fs/smb/server/smb2pdu.c:6329 smb2_read() warn: passing freed memory 'aux_payload_buf' It doesn't matter that we're passing a freed variable because nbytes is zero. This patch set "aux_payload_buf = NULL" to make smatch silence.
