Subject: [PATCH] cifs: fix DFS traversal oops without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL
Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2023 22:24:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230329202406.15762-1-ddiss@suse.de> (raw)

When compiled with CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL disabled, cifs_dfs_d_automount
NULL. cifs.ko logic for mapping CIFS_FATTR_DFS_REFERRAL attributes to
S_AUTOMOUNT and corresponding dentry flags is retained regardless of
CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in
VFS follow_automount() when traversing a DFS referral link:
  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
  ...
  Call Trace:

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc

This fix adds an inline cifs_dfs_d_automount() {return -EREMOTE} handler
when CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL is disabled. An alternative would be to
avoid flagging S_AUTOMOUNT, etc. without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL. This
approach was chosen as it provides more control over the error path.
