Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2015 16:24:27 -0400 Subject: nfsd4: disallow ALLOCATE with special stateids From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5ba4a25ab7b13be528b23f85182f4d09cf7f71ad upstream. vfs_fallocate will hit a NULL dereference if the client tries an ALLOCATE or DEALLOCATE with a special stateid. Fix that. (We also depend on the open to have broken any conflicting leases or delegations for us.) (If it turns out we need to allow special stateid's then we could do a temporary open here in the special-stateid case, as we do for read and write. For now I'm assuming it's not necessary.)
