[PATCH] nfsd: check get_user() return when reading princhashlen

From: Dominik Woźniak

Date: Thu May 21 2026 - 13:36:52 EST


In __cld_pipe_inprogress_downcall(), the get_user() that reads
princhashlen from the userspace cld_msg_v2 buffer does not check its
return value. A failing copy leaves princhashlen with uninitialised
stack contents, which are then used to drive memdup_user() and stored
as princhash.len on the resulting reclaim record. The other get_user()
calls in this function all check the return; only this one is missed,
which is most likely a copy-paste oversight from when v2 upcalls were
introduced.

Mirror the existing pattern used a few lines above for namelen.
namecopy is declared with __free(kfree) so the early return cleans up
the already-allocated buffer automatically.

Fixes: 6ee95d1c8991 ("nfsd: add support for upcall version 2")
