Subject: [PATCH v4 6/9] NFSD: Consolidate the revocation-path client unpin
Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2026 13:40:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709-cel-v4-6-1d519d9be0cb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709-cel-v4-0-1d519d9be0cb@kernel.org>
The client use-after-free fixes in the state-revocation paths left
four open-coded copies of one idiom: drop a cl_rpc_users pin without
renewing the client's lease, waking force_expire_client() when the
last pin drops on a client it is tearing down. The accompanying "do
not renew" rationale was documented at only one of the four sites.
put_client_renew_locked() and put_client_renew() already carry the
same pin-drop logic, but they renew a non-expired client's lease and
so would resurrect the client whose state is being revoked. Factor
the common pin-drop into __put_client_locked(), parameterized by
whether to renew. The renew helpers pass true; the new
put_client_no_renew_locked() and put_client_no_renew() pass false and
carry the revocation paths, which must not revive the client they are
tearing down. No change in behavior.
