Reset the ns->file value to NULL also in the error case in
nvmet_file_ns_enable().
The ns->file variable points either to file object or contains the
error code after the filp_open() call. This can lead to following
problem:
When the user first setups an invalid file backend and tries to enable
the ns, it will fail. Then the user switches over to a bdev backend
and enables successfully the ns. The first received I/O will crash the
system because the IO backend is chosen based on the ns->file value:
static u16 nvmet_parse_io_cmd(struct nvmet_req *req)
{
[...]
if (req->ns->file)
return nvmet_file_parse_io_cmd(req);
return nvmet_bdev_parse_io_cmd(req);
}

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.
