From: Daniel Kobras <kobras@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit f1442d6349a2e7bb7a6134791bdc26cb776c79af upstream. If an auth module's accept op returns SVC_CLOSE, svc_process_common() enters a call path that does not call svc_authorise() before leaving the function, and thus leaks a reference on the auth module's refcount. Hence, make sure calls to svc_authenticate() and svc_authorise() are paired for all call paths, to make sure rpc auth modules can be unloaded.
