v3:
1) Rebased for 3.6 kernel.

v2:
1) Set global nfsd_serv pointer to NULL only if no running threads left.

Otherwise we will get NULL pointer dereference on last thread exit in
nfsd_last_thread().
This patch also introduces nfsd_destroy() helper for per-net NFSd shutdown.

That last step should really be done in a separate patch, then the
bugfix done after that.

But I'm confused: I'm not seeing the NULL dereference.
nfsd_last_thread doesn't use nfsd_serv as far as I can tell.


Sorry for the bad comment, Bruce. It takes time even for me to reconstruct the problem in my mind.
The reason for this patch was an error path in nfs_svc().

int
nfsd_svc(unsigned short port, int nrservs)
{

<--- snip --->

out_destroy:
if (nfsd_serv->sv_nrthreads == 1)
svc_shutdown_net(nfsd_serv, net); <=== nfsd_serv = NULL
svc_destroy(nfsd_serv); <=== NULL ptr
out:
mutex_unlock(&nfsd_mutex);
return error;
}

I'll prepare patch series with proper comments. Thanks.

--b.
