Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] nfsd: fix nfsd_file leak on inter-server COPY setup failure
Date: Sat,  5 Sep 2026 12:50:46 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905165047.471369-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090342-mute-statistic-4761@gregkh>

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 88a76145451d703eedd867b5989bf73d17340399 ]

When nfsd4_setup_inter_ssc() fails, nfsd4_copy() returns
nfserr_offload_denied directly, bypassing the out: label where
release_copy_files() would drop the nf_dst reference taken by
nfs4_preprocess_stateid_op(). Each failed inter-server COPY
leaks one nfsd_file, pinning file/inode/dentry/vfsmount.

Fix by setting status and jumping to out: instead of returning
directly.

Fixes: ce0887ac96d3 ("NFSD add nfs4 inter ssc to nfsd4_copy")
