NFSv4: nfs4_state_manager() vs. nfs_server_remove_lists()
commit
080af20cc945d110f9912d01cf6b66f94a375b8d upstream.
There is a race between nfs4_state_manager() and
nfs_server_remove_lists() that happens during a nfsv3 mount.
The v3 mount notices there is already a supper block so
nfs_server_remove_lists() called which uses the nfs_client_lock
spin lock to synchronize access to the client list.
At the same time nfs4_state_manager() is running through
the client list looking for work to do, using the same
lock. When nfs4_state_manager() wins the race to the
list, a v3 client pointer is found and not ignored
properly which causes the panic.
Moving some protocol checks before the state checking
avoids the panic.
