    nfsd: clean up potential nfsd_file refcount leaks in COPY codepath · 6ba434cb
    Jeff Layton authored
    There are two different flavors of the nfsd4_copy struct. One is
    embedded in the compound and is used directly in synchronous copies. The
    other is dynamically allocated, refcounted and tracked in the client
    struture. For the embedded one, the cleanup just involves releasing any
    nfsd_files held on its behalf. For the async one, the cleanup is a bit
    more involved, and we need to dequeue it from lists, unhash it, etc.
    
    There is at least one potential refcount leak in this code now. If the
    kthread_create call fails, then both the src and dst nfsd_files in the
    original nfsd4_copy object are leaked.
    
    The cleanup in this codepath is also sort of weird. In the async copy
    case, we'll have up to four nfsd_file references (src and dst for both
    flavors of copy structure). They are both put at the end of
    nfsd4_do_async_copy, even though the ones held on behalf of the embedded
    one outlive that structure.
    
    Change it so that we always clean up the nfsd_file refs held by the
    embedded copy structure before nfsd4_copy returns. Rework
    cleanup_async_copy to handle both inter and intra copies. Eliminate
    nfsd4_cleanup_intra_ssc since it now becomes a no-op.
