Subject: [PATCH 6/6] NFSD: Convert nfsd_export_shutdown() to sunrpc_cache_destroy_net()
Date: Fri, 01 May 2026 10:51:12 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501-cache-uaf-fix-v1-6-a49928bf4817@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260501-cache-uaf-fix-v1-0-a49928bf4817@oracle.com>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
The earlier conversion to the shared sunrpc cache workqueue left
nfsd_export_shutdown() open-coding the unregister + drain + destroy
sequence to amortize a single rcu_barrier()+flush across both
caches. That micro-optimization runs only on namespace teardown
and module unload, neither of which is performance-sensitive.
Switch both caches to sunrpc_cache_destroy_net() so that the
canonical teardown idiom is applied uniformly. A future change to
the per-cache release callback that requires the cache_detail to
remain valid through the drain remains correct without per-call-site
auditing.
With the last external caller of sunrpc_cache_drain() gone, drop
the symbol export and the public declaration, and mark the
function static so the compiler can inline it into
sunrpc_cache_destroy_net().
