CIFS can also do open on lookup in some cases. In that case, fput will be called on the filp, which has not yet had its private_data set. This is a regression introduced with the patchset to clean up filehandle management in CIFS. The fix is simple and is already upstream -- simply check for a NULL filp->private_data before trying to dereference it.
Statement: This issue did not affect the Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux MRG as they did not backport the upstream commit cdff08e7 that introduced this issue. Future kernel updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 may address this flaw.
This issue has been addressed in following products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Via RHSA-2011:0836 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0836.html
