Recently we have been seeing kernel panic in cifs_reconnect function while accessing tgt_list. Looks like tgt_list is not initialized correctly. There are fixes already present in 5.10 and later trees. Backporting them to 5.4

commit baf3f08ef4083b76ca67b143e135213a7f941879 upstream.
The target iterator parameter "it" is not used in reconn_setup_dfs_targets(), so just remove it.

When passing on patches from other people, you too have to sign-off on the patch, saying that you are ok with it.
Please resend this series with your signed-off on it as well (after reading the documentation to understand what you are agreeing to.)
thanks,

commit a52930353eaf443489a350a135c5525a4acbbf56 upstream.
In case there were no cached DFS referrals in reconn_setup_dfs_targets(), set cifs_sb to NULL prior to calling reconn_set_next_dfs_target() so it would not try to access an empty tgt_list.
