NFS: Fix RCU issues in the NFSv4 delegation code
Fix a number of RCU issues in the NFSv4 delegation code.
(1) delegation->cred doesn't need to be RCU protected as it's essentially an
invariant refcounted structure.
By the time we get to nfs_free_delegation(), the delegation is being
released, so no one else should be attempting to use the saved
credentials, and they can be cleared.
However, since the list of delegations could still be under traversal at
this point by such as nfs_client_return_marked_delegations(), the cred
should be released in nfs_do_free_delegation() rather than in
nfs_free_delegation(). Simply using rcu_assign_pointer() to clear it is
insufficient as that doesn't stop the cred from being destroyed, and nor
does calling put_rpccred() after call_rcu(), given that the latter is
asynchronous.
(2) nfs_detach_delegation_locked() and nfs_inode_set_delegation() should use
rcu_derefence_protected() because they can only be called if
nfs_client::cl_lock is held, and that guards against anyone changing
nfsi->delegation under it. Furthermore, the barrier imposed by
rcu_dereference() is superfluous, given that the spin_lock() is also a
barrier.
(3) nfs_detach_delegation_locked() is now passed a pointer to the nfs_client
struct so that it can issue lockdep advice based on clp->cl_lock for (2).
(4) nfs_inode_return_delegation_noreclaim() and nfs_inode_return_delegation()
should use rcu_access_pointer() outside the spinlocked region as they
merely examine the pointer and don't follow it, thus rendering unnecessary
the need to impose a partial ordering over the one item of interest.
These result in an RCU warning like the following:
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
fs/nfs/delegation.c:332 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
