Shyam Prasad N f1ebe48dd3 cifs: If a corrupted DACL is returned by the server, bail out.
Static code analysis reported a possible null pointer dereference
in my last commit:
cifs: Retain old ACEs when converting between mode bits and ACL.

This could happen if the DACL returned by the server is corrupted.
We were trying to continue by assuming that the file has empty DACL.
We should bail out with an error instead.

README

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.

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.
