2.6.37-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Tetsuo Handa <[email protected]> commit 78d2978874e4e10e97dfd4fd79db45bdc0748550 upstream. In get_empty_filp() since 2.6.29, file_free(f) is called with f->f_cred == NULL when security_file_alloc() returned an error. As a result, kernel will panic() due to put_cred(NULL) call within RCU callback. Fix this bug by assigning f->f_cred before calling security_file_alloc().
