Subject: [PATCH 17/24] NFS: take a delegation reference in nfs4_get_valid_delegation
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 06:56:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251218055633.1532159-18-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251218055633.1532159-1-hch@lst.de>

Currently most work on struct nfs_delegation happens directly under RCU
protection.  This is generally fine, despite that long RCU sections are
not good for performance.  But for operations later taking a reference
to the delegation to perform blocking work, refcount_inc is used, which
can be racy against dropping the last reference and thus lead to use
after frees in extremely rare cases.

Fix this by taking a reference in nfs4_get_valid_delegation using
refcount_inc_not_zero so that the callers have a stabilized reference
they can work with and can be moved outside the RCU critical section.
