Below are races, when RPC client can be created without PiepFS dentries

rpc_new_client				rpc_fill_super
rpc_setup_pipedir
mutex_lock(&sn->pipefs_sb_lock)
rpc_get_sb_net == NULL
(no per-net PipeFS superblock)
					sn->pipefs_sb = sb;
					notifier_call_chain(MOUNT)
					(client is not in the list)
rpc_register_client
(client without pipes dentries)

To fix this patch:
1) makes PipeFS mount notification call with pipefs_sb_lock being held.
2) releases pipefs_sb_lock on new SUNRPC client creation only after
registration.

Hi Stanislav,

This isn't going to apply to the stable kernels without the cleanup
patch. Could you please reorganise this patch series so that the cleanup
comes last.

Thanks,
   Trond



Hello, Trond.
Sure, will do.
