6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e0011bca603c101f2a3c007bdb77f7006fa78fb1 ] nfsd_info.mutex can be dereferenced by svc_pool_stats_start() immediately after the new netns is created. Currently this can trigger an oops. Move the initialisation earlier before it can possibly be dereferenced. Fixes: 7b207ccd9833 ("svc: don't hold reference for poolstats, only mutex.")
