From: Patrick Ho Patrick.Ho@netapp.com Date: Sat, 21 Aug 2021 02:56:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: fix error handling of register_pernet_subsys() in init_nfsd()
init_nfsd() should not unregister pernet subsys if the register fails but should instead unwind from the last successful operation which is register_filesystem().
Unregistering a failed register_pernet_subsys() call can result in a kernel GPF as revealed by programmatically injecting an error in register_pernet_subsys().
Verified the fix handled failure gracefully with no lingering nfsd entry in /proc/filesystems. This change was introduced by the commit bd5ae9288d64 ("nfsd: register pernet ops last, unregister first"), the original error handling logic was correct.
Whoops, thanks for catching this. I assume Chuck will pick it up.
Applied to the for-next branch at
