fanotify_get_fsid() is reading mark->connector->fsid under srcu. It can happen that it sees mark not fully initialized or mark that is already detached from the object list. In these cases mark->connector can be NULL leading to NULL ptr dereference. Fix the problem by being careful when reading mark->connector and check it for being NULL. Also use WRITE_ONCE when writing the mark just to prevent compiler from doing something stupid.

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.
