If we interrupt the nfs4_wait_for_completion_rpc_task() call in nfs4_run_open_task(), then we don't prevent the RPC call from completing. So freeing up the opendata->f_attr.mdsthreshold in the error path in _nfs4_do_open() leads to a use-after-free when the XDR decoder tries to decode the mdsthreshold information from the server.
