From cf0a586cf41a1779edeee7562afb5d0ab46c7cf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Banks Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 07:28:15 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] knfsd: fix reply cache memory corruption Fix a regression in the reply cache introduced when the code was converted to use proper Linux lists. When a new entry needs to be inserted, the case where all the entries are currently being used by threads is not correctly detected. This can result in memory corruption and a crash. In the current code this is an extremely unlikely corner case; it would require the machine to have 1024 nfsd threads and all of them to be busy at the same time. However, upcoming reply cache changes make this more likely; a crash due to this problem was actually observed in field. Signed-off-by: Greg Banks Signed-off-by: J.
