[lvc-project] [PATCH 5.10/5.15] NFSv4.1: zero referring call lists before decoding

[Mikhail Dmitrichenko]

From: Jérémy Jean <Jeremy.Jean at oss.cyber.gouv.fr>

commit 8fa4804fe62ca4155a2d8fc2789d630376cbf2fc upstream.

decode_cb_sequence_args() allocates csa_rclists with kmalloc_objs(), so
each referring_call_list starts uninitialized. decode_rc_list() assigns
rcl_refcalls only when rcl_nrefcalls is nonzero. A valid list with zero
referring calls therefore leaves the pointer uninitialized, and
nfs4_callback_sequence() later passes stale slab contents to kfree().

Allocate csa_rclists with kzalloc_objs() so every rcl_refcalls member is
NULL from the beginning, including valid empty referring call lists.

Fixes: 4aece6a19cf7 ("nfs41: cb_sequence xdr implementation")

[ mdmitrichenko: kzalloc_objs() does not exist in 5.10 and 5.15, so
  replace the kmalloc_array() call with kcalloc() instead. ]
