Subject: [PATCH] NFSv4: remove callback IDR entry on client allocation failure
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 11:58:58 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624035858.172129-1-ruoyuw560@gmail.com> (raw)
nfs4_alloc_client() allocates an NFSv4.0 callback identifier before it
finishes setting up the client. If any later initialization step fails,
the error path frees the nfs_client directly with nfs_free_client(). That
bypasses nfs_put_client(), which is where the callback IDR entry is
removed during normal teardown.
A failed allocation can therefore leave cb_ident_idr pointing at a freed
nfs_client. A later NFSv4.0 callback lookup by cb_ident would find the
stale pointer and take a reference to it.
Make the callback IDR removal helper callable by the allocation failure
path, and remove the callback identifier before freeing the client.
This was found by a local static-analysis checker for publish-before-free
lifetime bugs and confirmed by manual inspection.
Fixes: f4eecd5da342 ("NFS implement v4.0 callback_ident")
