If this is the cause why we don't drop the mount after the copy
then I can restore the patch and look into this problem. Unfortunately,
all my test machines are down for maintenance until Sunday/Monday.
I think we can take some time to figure out what's actually going on
here before reverting anything.
Yes I agree. We need to fix the use-after-free and also make sure that
reference will go away. I'm assuming to reproduce the use-after-free I
need to run with kazan, is that what you did Dai?
I did not use Kasan. I just did an inter-server copy and this message
showed up in /var/log/messages.

Dai, do you have a copy of the original use-after-free warning?

Hi Dai (Bruce),
This patch is what broke the mount that's now left behind between the
source server and the destination server. We are no longer dropping
the necessary reference on the mount to go away. I haven't been paying
as much attention as I should have been to the changes. The original
code called fput(src) so a simple refcount of the file. Then things
got complicated and moved to nfsd_file_put(). So I don't understand
complexity. But we need to do some kind of put to decrement the needed
reference on the superblock. Bruce any ideas? Can we go back to
fput()?

The source file nfsd_file is not constructed the same as other
nfsd_file's via nfsd_file_alloc. nfsd_file_put should not be
called to free the object; nfsd_file_put is not the inverse of
kzalloc, instead kfree is called by nfsd4_do_async_copy when done.
