From ebc63e531cc6a457595dd110b07ac530eae788c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 16:49:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] svcrpc: fix list-corrupting race on nfsd shutdown After commit 3262c816a3d7fb1eaabce633caa317887ed549ae "[PATCH] knfsd: split svc_serv into pools", svc_delete_xprt (then svc_delete_socket) no longer removed its xpt_ready (then sk_ready) field from whatever list it was on, noting that there was no point since the whole list was about to be destroyed anyway. That was mostly true, but forgot that a few svc_xprt_enqueue()'s might still be hanging around playing with the about-to-be-destroyed list, and could get themselves into trouble writing to freed memory if we left this xprt on the list after freeing it. (This is actually functionally identical to a patch made first by Ben Greear, but with more comments.)
