[PATCH 4.9 096/121] ceph: fix potential race in ceph_check_caps

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Sep 29 2020 - 07:11:38 EST


From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dc3da0461cc4b76f2d0c5b12247fcb3b520edbbf ]

Nothing ensures that session will still be valid by the time we
dereference the pointer. Take and put a reference.

In principle, we should always be able to get a reference here, but
throw a warning if that's ever not the case.
