[PATCH 5.10 015/306] ceph: fix dereference of null pointer cf

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Sep 16 2021 - 12:05:01 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 05a444d3f90a3c3e6362e88a1bf13e1a60f8cace upstream.

Currently in the case where kmem_cache_alloc fails the null pointer
cf is dereferenced when assigning cf->is_capsnap = false. Fix this
by adding a null pointer check and return path.
