5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 080abad71e99d2becf38c978572982130b927a28 ] Commit f49169c97fce ("NFSD: Remove svc_serv_ops::svo_module") removed calls to module_put_and_kthread_exit() from threads that acted as SUNRPC servers and had a related svc_serv_ops structure. This was correct. It ALSO removed the module_put_and_kthread_exit() call from nfs4_run_state_manager() which is NOT a SUNRPC service. Consequently every time the NFSv4 state manager runs the module count increments and won't be decremented. So the nfsv4 module cannot be unloaded. So restore the module_put_and_kthread_exit() call.
