------------------------------------------------------ From: Thiago Rafael Becker thiago.becker@gmail.com Subject: kernel: make groups_sort calling a responsibility group_info allocators
In testing, we found that nfsd threads may call set_groups in parallel for the same entry cached in auth.unix.gid, racing in the call of groups_sort, corrupting the groups for that entry and leading to permission denials for the client.
This patch: - Make groups_sort globally visible. - Move the call to groups_sort to the modifiers of group_info - Remove the call to groups_sort from set_groups
