Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/3] nfsd: guard nfsd_serv deref in nfsd_file_net_dispose
Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 16:05:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905200538.608334-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090353-raft-script-514e@gregkh>
From: Chris Mason <clm@meta.com>
[ Upstream commit 9f1ddfc8cb9076592401a611eb3a44d36186d014 ]
nfsd_file_net_dispose() is the consumer side of l->freeme: the nfsd
service thread loop calls it to drain entries that the filecache
garbage collector and shrinker append via
nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed(). During per-net teardown,
nn->nfsd_serv is cleared before the filecache laundrette is shut
down, so the service thread can still run a dispose pass that finds
more than eight entries on l->freeme and dereferences a NULL
svc_serv:
nfsd service thread loop
nfsd_file_net_dispose(nn)
if (!list_empty(&l->freeme)) {
...
svc_wake_up(nn->nfsd_serv); /* nn->nfsd_serv == NULL */
}
The sibling helper nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed() already documents
this ordering and caches nn->nfsd_serv into a local before testing it
for NULL. nfsd_file_net_dispose() was introduced with the same raw
svc_wake_up(nn->nfsd_serv) call and never picked up the guard.
Fix by loading nn->nfsd_serv into a local svc_serv pointer and only
calling svc_wake_up() when it is non-NULL, matching the pattern in
nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed().
