4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Bill.Baker@xxxxxxxxxx" <Bill.Baker@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ad86f605c59500da82d196ac312cfbac3daba31d ] nfs4_update_server unconditionally releases the nfs_client for the source server. If migration fails, this can cause the source server's nfs_client struct to be left with a low reference count, resulting in use-after-free. Also, adjust reference count handling for ELOOP.
