4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Olga Kornievskaia <kolga@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 63513232f8cd219dcaa5eafae028740ed3067d83 upstream. Since rpc_task is async, the release function should be called which will free the impl_id, scope, and owner. Trond pointed at 2 more problems: -- use of client pointer after free in the nfs4_exchangeid_release() function -- cl_count mismatch if rpc_run_task() isn't run Fixes: 8d89bd70bc9 ("NFS setup async exchange_id") Signed-off-by: Olga Kornievskaia <kolga@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 9 ++++----- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) --- a/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c +++ b/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c @@ -7426,11 +7426,11 @@ static void nfs4_exchange_id_release(voi struct nfs41_exchange_id_data *cdata = (struct nfs41_exchange_id_data *)data; - nfs_put_client(cdata->args.client); if (cdata->xprt) { xprt_put(cdata->xprt); rpc_clnt_xprt_switch_put(cdata->args.client->cl_rpcclient); } + nfs_put_client(cdata->args.client); kfree(cdata->res.impl_id); kfree(cdata->res.server_scope); kfree(cdata->res.server_owner); @@ -7537,10 +7537,8 @@ static int _nfs4_proc_exchange_id(struct task_setup_data.callback_data = calldata; task = rpc_run_task(&task_setup_data); - if (IS_ERR(task)) { - status = PTR_ERR(task); - goto out_impl_id; - } + if (IS_ERR(task)) + return PTR_ERR(task); if (!xprt) { status = rpc_wait_for_completion_task(task); @@ -7568,6 +7566,7 @@ out_server_owner: kfree(calldata->res.server_owner); out_calldata: kfree(calldata); + nfs_put_client(clp); goto out; }
