I should make it clear that this patch is just a prerequisite for the following patches. I don't know of a way to trigger this oops with the existing code, but if we call svc_destroy from the write_ports codepaths like I'm proposing then it can happen. > > > > Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> > > --- > > fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c | 2 ++ > > 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c b/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c > > index 1176708..fc52920 100644 > > --- a/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c > > +++ b/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c > > @@ -4124,6 +4124,8 @@ __nfs4_state_shutdown(void) > > void > > nfs4_state_shutdown(void) > > { > > + if (!nfs4_init) > > + return; > > cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(laundry_wq, &laundromat_work); > > destroy_workqueue(laundry_wq); > > locks_end_grace(&nfsd4_manager); > > -- > > 1.5.5.6 > > -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
