Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] NFSD: Prevent client use-after-free during NFSv4.0 revoked-state cleanup
Date: Sun, 05 Jul 2026 21:25:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260705-cel-v2-5-d88c3b68e8bc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260705-cel-v2-0-d88c3b68e8bc@kernel.org>
nfs40_clean_admin_revoked() takes a stateid reference under
clp->cl_lock, drops nn->client_lock, and calls
nfsd4_drop_revoked_stid(), which dereferences the stateid's client
through s->sc_client->cl_lock. The stateid reference does not pin the
client, so a teardown racing the dropped lock can free the client
while nfsd4_drop_revoked_stid() is still using it.
This cleanup runs from the laundromat, so a periodic sweep can race
force_expire_client() driven by a write to the clients/<id>/ctl file.
Skip a client that is already expiring and otherwise pin it with
cl_rpc_users under client_lock before dropping the lock, matching
nfsd4_revoke_states().
Fixes: d688d8585e6b ("nfsd: allow admin-revoked NFSv4.0 state to be freed.")
