    knfsd: fix reply cache memory corruption · cf0a586c
    Greg Banks authored
    Fix a regression in the reply cache introduced when the code was
    converted to use proper Linux lists.  When a new entry needs to be
    inserted, the case where all the entries are currently being used
    by threads is not correctly detected.  This can result in memory
    corruption and a crash.  In the current code this is an extremely
    unlikely corner case; it would require the machine to have 1024
    nfsd threads and all of them to be busy at the same time.  However,
    upcoming reply cache changes make this more likely; a crash due to
    this problem was actually observed in field.
