SUNRPC: fix races on PipeFS UMOUNT notifications
CPU#0 CPU#1 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- rpc_kill_sb sn->pipefs_sb = NULL rpc_release_client (UMOUNT_EVENT) rpc_free_auth rpc_pipefs_event rpc_get_client_for_event !atomic_inc_not_zero(cl_count) <skip the client> atomic_inc(cl_count) rpc_free_client rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir <skip client dir removing> To fix this, this patch does the following: 1) Calls RPC_PIPEFS_UMOUNT notification with sn->pipefs_sb_lock being held. 2) Removes SUNRPC client from the list AFTER pipes destroying. 3) Doesn't hold RPC client on notification: if client in the list, then it can't be destroyed while sn->pipefs_sb_lock in hold by notification caller.
