I think all this can be fixed by adding a ->free function pointer to struct nfs4_stid. At this point the braindamage of passing a kmem_cache pointer to various function can be removed (similar to how nfs4_alloc_stid should be replaced with a nfs4_init_stid that takes an already allocated stid), and nothing in the normal refcounting path should need these switches. > @@ -3804,26 +3823,33 @@ static __be32 nfsd4_validate_stateid(struct nfs4_client *cl, stateid_t *stateid) > return nfserr_bad_stateid; > status = check_stateid_generation(stateid, &s->sc_stateid, 1); > if (status) > - return status; > + goto out_put_stid; > switch (s->sc_type) { > case NFS4_DELEG_STID: > - return nfs_ok; > + status = nfs_ok; > + break; > case NFS4_REVOKED_DELEG_STID: > - return nfserr_deleg_revoked; > + status = nfserr_deleg_revoked; > + break; > case NFS4_OPEN_STID: > case NFS4_LOCK_STID: > ols = openlockstateid(s); > if (ols->st_stateowner->so_is_open_owner > && !(openowner(ols->st_stateowner)->oo_flags > & NFS4_OO_CONFIRMED)) > - return nfserr_bad_stateid; > - return nfs_ok; > + status = nfserr_bad_stateid; > + else > + status = nfs_ok; > + break; Not quite as urgent as for the refcounting, but I think moving more of these switches on the type into proper methods would improve the stateid code a lot. -- 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
