[RFC PATCH 2/2] race of nfsd inetaddr notifiers with nn->nfsd_serv change

From: Vasily Averin
Date: Tue Oct 17 2017 - 12:48:33 EST


nfsd_inet[6]addr_event use nn->nfsd_serv without taken nfsd_mutex,
pointer can be changed during execution of notifiers and crash the host.

Moreover if notifiers was enabled in one net namespace it will be enabled
in all other net namespaces, from its creation until its destroy.

Patch allows notifiers to access to nn->nfsd_serv only when the pointer was
correctly initialized and delays its cleanup until notifiers are in use.
