Subject: [PATCH 7.2.y 3/6] NFSD: Prevent client use-after-free during export state revocation
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 16:18:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907201848.382196-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907201848.382196-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 2108de53568a64936a0da3e04d85c35df98d3fb6 ]

nfsd4_revoke_export_states() has the same use-after-free as
nfsd4_revoke_states(): it drops nn->client_lock across
revoke_one_stid() and the following read of clp->cl_minorversion, but
the stateid reference it holds does not pin the client.  A teardown
racing the dropped lock can free the client while revoke_one_stid()
still dereferences it.

exportfs -u drives this path through NFSD_CMD_UNLOCK_EXPORT, so an
administrator removing an export can race a client expiry.

Skip a client that is already expiring and otherwise pin it with
cl_rpc_users under client_lock before dropping the lock, matching
nfsd4_revoke_states().
