Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: don't allow OPDESC to walk off the end of nfsd4_ops

Ensure that OPDESC() doesn't return a pointer that doesn't lie within
the array. In particular, this is a problem when this funtion is passed
OP_ILLEGAL, but let's return NULL for any invalid value.

This is the patch that I think we want ahead of this one:

nfsd: call op_release, even when op_func returns an error

If you end up with OP_ILLEGAL, then op->opdesc ends up pointing
somewhere far, far away, and the new op_release changes can trip over
that. We could add a Fixes tag for this, I suppose:

22b03214962e nfsd4: introduce OPDESC helper

...but that commit is from 2011, so it's probably not worth it.

Well, my concern would be that we want this fix in stable if the
op_release fix is applied as well. I think we will need to either
squash these two or mark this one with an explicit Fixes: tag.

Several OPDESC callers appear to expect the return value will be
a non-NULL pointer, so this will either crash the system, or
crash the human reading the code. ;-)

Besides, those callers appear to have already range-checked the
opnum (on cursory inspection). It's only nfsd4_decode_compound()
that looks dodgy.

How about something like this (untested) instead?

Your call.

Yep, but the alternative is that they go off into la-la land and
probably just crash anyway with a GPF. You might get lucky and not
crash, but it's doubtful that it'd do anything you'd expect. At least by
setting it early to a NULL pointer, you're more likely to crash earlier,
at a point where you might be able to determine the cause.

I'm fine with that approach. In fact, that was basically what I had in
an earlier iteration of fixing this.
