3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9eb2ddb48ce3a7bd745c14a933112994647fa3cd upstream. Fix a race in which the RPC client is shutting down while the gss daemon is processing a downcall. If the RPC client manages to shut down before the gss daemon is done, then the struct gss_auth used in gss_release_msg() may have already been freed.
