[PATCH] NFSv4: remove callback IDR entry on client allocation failure

Ruoyu Wang <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.linux.nfs,gmane.linux.kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
nfs4_alloc_client() allocates an NFSv4.0 callback identifier before it
finishes setting up the client. If any later initialization step fails,
the error path frees the nfs_client directly with nfs_free_client(). That
bypasses nfs_put_client(), which is where the callback IDR entry is
removed during normal teardown.

A failed allocation can therefore leave cb_ident_idr pointing at a freed
nfs_client. A later NFSv4.0 callback lookup by cb_ident would find the
stale pointer and take a reference to it.

Make the callback IDR removal helper callable by the allocation failure
path, and remove the callback identifier before freeing the client.

This was found by a local static-analysis checker for publish-before-free
lifetime bugs and confirmed by manual inspection.

Fixes: f4eecd5da342 ("NFS implement v4.0 callback_ident")
