Unless I'm completely wrong this only does not apply to the older
series because in 5.6-rc1 we had 20b7d86f29d3 ("nfsd: use boottime for
lease expiry calculation") soe there is a minor context change in one
hunk.

Attached is a patch accounting for that, Bruce is this okay?

This would apply as well back on top of v4.9.293.

Regards,
Salvatore

Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: fix use-after-free due to delegation race

commit 548ec0805c399c65ed66c6641be467f717833ab5 upstream.

A delegation break could arrive as soon as we've called vfs_setlease.  A
delegation break runs a callback which immediately (in
nfsd4_cb_recall_prepare) adds the delegation to del_recall_lru.  If we
then exit nfs4_set_delegation without hashing the delegation, it will be
freed as soon as the callback is done with it, without ever being
removed from del_recall_lru.

Symptoms show up later as use-after-free or list corruption warnings,
usually in the laundromat thread.

I suspect aba2072f4523 "nfsd: grant read delegations to clients holding
writes" made this bug easier to hit, but I looked as far back as v3.0
and it looks to me it already had the same problem.  So I'm not sure
where the bug was introduced; it may have been there from the beginning.
