4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 21a446cf186570168b7281b154b1993968598aca upstream. If we exit the NFSv4 state manager due to a umount, then we can end up leaving the NFS4CLNT_MANAGER_RUNNING flag set. If another mount causes the nfs4_client to be rereferenced before it is destroyed, then we end up never being able to recover state. Fixes: 47c2199b6eb5 ("NFSv4.1: Ensure state manager thread dies on last ...")
