nfsd: fix oops on access from high-numbered ports
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This bug was always here, but before my commit 6fa0283
("recheck for secure ports in fh_verify"), it could only be triggered by
failure of a kmalloc().  After that commit it could be triggered by a
client making a request from a non-reserved port for access to an export
marked "secure".  (Exports are "secure" by default.)

The result is a struct svc_export with a reference count one too low,
resulting in likely oopses next time the export is accessed.

The reference counting here is not straightforward; a later patch will
clean up fh_verify().

Thanks to Lukas Hejtmanek for the bug report and followup.
