[ Upstream commit4882a27cec] A cb_interest record is not necessarily attached to the vnode on entry to afs_validate(), which can cause an oops when we try to bring the vnode's cb_s_break up to date in the default case (ie. no current callback promise and the vnode has not been deleted). Fix this by simply removing the line, as vnode->cb_s_break will be set when needed by afs_register_server_cb_interest() when we next get a callback promise from RPC call. The oops looks something like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 ... RIP: 0010:afs_validate+0x66/0x250 [kafs] ...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
