[PATCH 6.12.y 4/4] sunrpc: fix use-after-free in __rpc_clnt_handle_event and __rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Luxiao Xu <rakukuip@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 932a8cf6abb2b2f8677b79153a823108d8861fe2 ]

Normal client creation goes through rpc_setup_pipedir(), which records
clnt->pipefs_sb, but the mount-event path in __rpc_clnt_handle_event()
calls rpc_setup_pipedir_sb() directly and never refreshes that field.
The umount path also removes the directory without clearing
clnt->pipefs_sb.

After a late pipefs mount or any remount, rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir()
compares the current superblock against a stale pipefs_sb pointer and
skips cleanup, leaving pipefs dentries whose inode private data still
points at a freed rpc_clnt, leading to a potential use-after-free during
subsequent rpc_info_open() or rpc_show_info() calls.

Fix this by properly updating clnt->pipefs_sb upon mount events and
clearing it during unmount or failure paths.

Fixes: bfca5fb4e97c ("SUNRPC: Fix RPC client cleaned up the freed pipefs dentries")
