Subject: [PATCH] nfs/localio: fix regression due to out-of-order __put_cred [was: Re: [Bug][xfstests crash on nfs] kernel BUG at kernel/cred.c:104!]
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2025 00:41:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aSaTC51DkxEqQkrZ@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251125144508.rxepvtwrubbuhzxs@dell-per750-06-vm-08.rhts.eng.pek2.redhat.com>
Commit 86855311c117 ("nfs/localio: add refcounting for each iocb IO
associated with NFS pgio header") inadvertantly reintroduced the same
potential for __put_cred() triggering BUG_ON(cred == current->cred)
that commit 992203a1fba5 ("nfs/localio: restore creds before releasing
pageio data") fixed.
Fix this by saving and restoring the cred around each {read,write}_iter
call within the respective for loop of nfs_local_call_{read,write}.
