afs: Fix server record deletion
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
AFS server records get removed from the net->fs_servers tree when
they're deleted, but not from the net->fs_addresses{4,6} lists, which
can lead to an oops in afs_find_server() when a server record has been
removed, for instance during rmmod.

Fix this by deleting the record from the by-address lists before posting
it for RCU destruction.

The reason this hasn't been noticed before is that the fileserver keeps
probing the local cache manager, thereby keeping the service record
alive, so the oops would only happen when a fileserver eventually gets
bored and stops pinging or if the module gets rmmod'd and a call comes
in from the fileserver during the window between the server records
being destroyed and the socket being closed.

The oops looks something like:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000001c
