[PATCH 6.6 077/583] NFS: Use parents objective cred in nfs_access_login_time()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Scott Mayhew <smayhew@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a10a9233073d984b239e22358ba21825e27e2e88 ]

The subjective cred (task->cred) can potentially be overridden and
subsquently freed in non-RCU context, which could lead to a panic if we
try to use it in cred_fscmp().  Use __task_cred(), which returns the
objective cred (task->real_cred) instead.

Fixes: 0eb43812c027 ("NFS: Clear the file access cache upon login")
Fixes: 5e9a7b9c2ea1 ("NFS: Fix up a sparse warning")
