      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      While locking and testing locks on a re-exported nfs v3 mount simultaneously from both the client-server and a client which has mounted the re-exported filesystem, nfsd can crash the system in nlmclnt_setlockargs while servicing a LOCKT, due to a null file_lock->fl_file

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      kernel-4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9.x86_64

      How reproducible:

      easy, see reproducer

      Steps to reproduce

      reproducer requires 3 systems and attached test program

       system 1 (nfs server):
  # mkdir /exports
  # touch /exports/testfile
  /etc/exports:
    /exports *(rw,no_root_squash)
  # exportfs -av

system 2 (nfs client + server):
  # mkdir /exports
  # mount system1:/exports /exports -overs=3
  /etc/exports:
    /exports *(rw,no_root_squash,fsid=50)
  # exportfs -av
  copy test_lock_crash.c to /tmp
  # gcc /tmp/test_lock_crash.c -o /tmp/test_lock_crash
  # /tmp/test_lock_crash /exports/testfile

system 3 (nfs client):
  # mkdir /mnt
  # mount system2:/exports /mnt -overs=4
  copy test_lock_crash.c to /tmp
  # gcc /tmp/test_lock_crash.c -o /tmp/test_lock_crash  # /tmp/test_lock_crash /mnt/testfile

       

      Expected results

      no crash

      Actual results

      nfsd process crashes while dereferencing null pointer:

      crashing instruction is on line 132 of fs/lockd/clntproc.c:

      125 static void nlmclnt_setlockargs(struct nlm_rqst *req, struct file_lock *fl)
126 {
127         struct nlm_args *argp = &req->a_args;
128         struct nlm_lock *lock = &argp->lock;
129         char *nodename = req->a_host->h_rpcclnt->cl_nodename;
130 
131         nlmclnt_next_cookie(&argp->cookie);
132         memcpy(&lock->fh, NFS_FH(locks_inode(fl->fl_file)), sizeof(struct nfs_fh));

      the file_lock (fl) passed into the function is still in %rbp

           RBP: ffff947a8afa1bd8   R8: 0000000000000000   R9: 0000000000000000

crash> file_lock.fl_file ffff947a8afa1bd8
  fl_file = 0x0,

      The 'struct file' was then dereferenced as 'file->f_inode' inside locks_inode()
