From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Each rpc_client has a cl_clid which is allocated from a global ida, and a debugfs directory which is named after cl_clid. We're releasing the cl_clid before we free the debugfs directory named after it. As soon as the cl_clid is released, that value is available for another newly created client. That leaves a window where another client may attempt to create a new debugfs directory with the same name as the not-yet-deleted debugfs directory from the dying client. Symptoms are log messages like Directory 4 with parent 'rpc_clnt' already present! Fixes: 7c4310ff5642 "SUNRPC: defer slow parts of rpc_free_client() to a workqueue." Signed-off-by: J.
