[ A private conversation resulted in a 'if you can't show the problem in a real test case, then we don't need a patch' response, so I'm posting publicly in case someone else wants to cook up a patch. ] While looking at the code, I noticed that the nfs40 version has some code to release 'prev' in the failure case, but nfs41 version does not. The code is complicated, but I believe prev can indeed leak in this method, if the failure case code path is taken. I have no proof that the failure case is ever taken, but the 'nfs40' version failure case can... Perhaps someone more familiar with this code can cook up a fix. I'm not using this code in my test right now, so I have no good way to test a patch at this point.
