Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 2/2] nfsd: release layout stid on setlease failure
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 16:27:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702202749.1618630-2-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702202749.1618630-1-cel@kernel.org>

commit 30d55c8aabb261bc3f427d6b9aae7ef6206063f9 upstream.

nfs4_alloc_stid() publishes the new stid into cl->cl_stateids via
idr_alloc_cyclic() under cl_lock before returning to
nfsd4_alloc_layout_stateid(). When nfsd4_layout_setlease() then
fails, the error path frees the layout stateid directly with
kmem_cache_free() without ever calling idr_remove(), leaving the
IDR slot pointing at freed slab memory. Any subsequent IDR walker
(states_show, client teardown) dereferences the dangling pointer.

The correct teardown for an IDR-published stid is nfs4_put_stid(),
which removes the IDR slot under cl_lock, dispatches sc_free
(nfsd4_free_layout_stateid) to release ls->ls_file via
nfsd4_close_layout(), and drops the nfs4_file reference in its
tail.

Replace the manual nfsd_file_put + put_nfs4_file + kmem_cache_free
cleanup with a single nfs4_put_stid(stp).
