Kernel panic in cifs_revalidate

[Chakri n]

Hi,

I am seeing a kernel panic in cifs module. It seems to be a result of
invalid inode entry in dentry for the file it is trying to validate.

The inode->i_ino is set zero and inode->i_mapping is set to NULL in
the inode pointer in the dentry (0xdf8ea200) structure. I went through
the cifs code and could not find any valid case that could trigger
this situation. Is there any case which can lead to this situation?
