From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Dave Jones <davej@...hat.com>

commit 8d657eb3b43861064d36241e88d9d61c709f33f0 upstream.

This can be trivially triggered from userspace by passing in something unexpected.

    invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
    RIP: 0010:generic_setlease+0xc2/0x100
