Subject: [PATCH] NFSv4: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in
 pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return()
Git-commit: a421d218603ffa822a0b8045055c03eae394a7eb
Patch-mainline: v5.13
References: git-fixes

Commit de144ff4234f changes _pnfs_return_layout() to call
pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() passing NULL as the struct
pnfs_layout_range argument. Unfortunately,
pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() doesn't check if we have a value here
before dereferencing it, causing an oops.

I'm able to hit this crash consistently when running connectathon basic
tests on NFS v4.1/v4.2 against Ontap.

Fixes: de144ff4234f ("NFSv4: Don't discard segments marked for return in _pnfs_return_layout()")
