How are we getting in this state in the first place? If we're exiting without rpc_done being set, then that means either * the 'can_open_cached()' condition in nfs4_open_prepare() triggered (in which case we _do_ have data->state set) or * the user interrupted the RPC call before it completed, in which case we should get an error from nfs4_proc_open, and never call nfs4_opendata_to_nfs4_state() The only other case I see would be the one where RPC_ASSASSINATED() triggers in nfs4_open_done(); I suppose that might trigger the Oops. The fix in that case would be to ensure that we still set data->rpc_done.
