6.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 10396f4df8b75ff6ab0aa2cd74296565466f2c8d ] Currently the CB_RECALL_ANY job takes a cl_rpc_users reference to the client. While a callback job is technically an RPC that counter is really more for client-driven RPCs, and this has the effect of preventing the client from being unhashed until the callback completes. If nfsd decides to send a CB_RECALL_ANY just as the client reboots, we can end up in a situation where the callback can't complete on the (now dead) callback channel, but the new client can't connect because the old client can't be unhashed. This usually manifests as a NFS4ERR_DELAY return on the CREATE_SESSION operation. The job is only holding a reference to the client so it can clear a flag after the RPC completes. Fix this by having CB_RECALL_ANY instead hold a reference to the cl_nfsdfs.cl_ref. Typically we only take that sort of reference when dealing with the nfsdfs info files, but it should work appropriately here to ensure that the nfs4_client doesn't disappear.
