The locking doesn't look right if the loop breaks on error.
(Same applied to patch v2 1/4)


Thanks for the catch. I'll fix this.

Although list_fo_each_entry_safe() allows the current entry
to be freed, I don't believe it allows the 'next' to be freed.
I doubt there is protection against that happening.


We need to use safe macro, because client can be destroyed on nfs_put_client() call.
About "protection against ... the 'next' to be freed" - I dont' think, that we need any protection against it. This will be done under nfs_client_lock, and current entry list pointers will be updated properly.

Do you need to use an atomic_inc() for cl_count.
I'd guess the nfs_client_lock is usually held?


Sorry, I don't understand this question.
