In nfsd4_run_cb, cl_cb_inflight is increased before attempting to queue cb_work to callback_wq. This count can be decreased in three situations: 1) If queuing fails in nfsd4_run_cb, the count will be decremented accordingly. 2) After cb_work is running, the count is decreased in the exception branch of nfsd4_run_cb_work via nfsd41_destroy_cb. 3) The count is decreased in the release callback of rpc_task — either directly calling nfsd41_cb_inflight_end in nfsd4_cb_probe_release, or calling nfsd41_destroy_cb in nfsd4_cb_release. However, in nfsd4_cb_release, if the current cb_work needs to restart, the count will not be decreased, with the expectation that it will be reduced once cb_work is running. If queuing fails here, then the count will leak, ultimately causing the nfsd service to be unable to exit as shown below: [root@nfs_test2 ~]# cat /proc/2271/stack [<0>] nfsd4_shutdown_callback+0x22b/0x290 [<0>] __destroy_client+0x3cd/0x5c0 [<0>] nfs4_state_destroy_net+0xd2/0x330 [<0>] nfs4_state_shutdown_net+0x2ad/0x410 [<0>] nfsd_shutdown_net+0xb7/0x250 [<0>] nfsd_last_thread+0x15f/0x2a0 [<0>] nfsd_svc+0x388/0x3f0 [<0>] write_threads+0x17e/0x2b0 [<0>] nfsctl_transaction_write+0x91/0xf0 [<0>] vfs_write+0x1c4/0x750 [<0>] ksys_write+0xcb/0x170 [<0>] do_syscall_64+0x70/0x120 [<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x78/0xe2 [root@nfs_test2 ~]# Fix this by decreasing cl_cb_inflight if the restart fails.
