Subject: [PATCH 1/2] NFS: Pin the 'struct nfs_server' during a FREE_STATEID call
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 16:47:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710204715.621189-1-anna@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Anna Schumaker <anna.schumaker@hammerspace.com>

Dan Aloni reports that he was able to hit a use-after-free bug if a
FREE_STATEID operation gets delayed for whatever reason. Fix this by
bumping the refcount of the 'struct nfs_server' object for the duration
of the FREE_STATEID so it doesn't get cleaned up from underneath us
while operations are still in flight.

Reported-by: Dan Aloni <dan.aloni@vastdata.com>
Fixes: 7c1d5fae4a87 ("NFSv4: Convert nfs41_free_stateid to use an asynchronous RPC call")
Tested-by: Dan Aloni <dan.aloni@vastdata.com>
