Jeff Layton 9b57793863 nfsd: dedup nfs4_client_to_reclaim inserts
nfs4_client_to_reclaim() unconditionally allocates a new
nfs4_client_reclaim, prepends it to reclaim_str_hashtbl[], and bumps
reclaim_str_hashtbl_size with no check for an existing entry for the
same client name.  After a reboot with a populated recovery directory
that inflates the counter by one for every client that reclaims:

    boot:    load_recdir()
               nfs4_client_to_reclaim(name)   /* entry #1, size++ */

    grace:   RECLAIM_COMPLETE
               __nfsd4_create_reclaim_record_grace()
                 nfs4_client_to_reclaim(name) /* entry #2, size++ */

inc_reclaim_complete() ends the grace period early only when

    atomic_inc_return(&nn->nr_reclaim_complete) ==
        nn->reclaim_str_hashtbl_size

With reclaim_str_hashtbl_size at 2N and nr_reclaim_complete capped at
N, the equality never holds and the fast end-of-grace path is dead.
The grace period always runs out the full 90-second laundromat timer,
and the shadow entry left in the hash table carries a dangling cr_clp
for any reader that walks it.

Fix nfs4_client_to_reclaim() to look the name up with
nfsd4_find_reclaim_client() first and, on a hit, fold the new
princhash into the existing record (if it lacks one) and return that
record without allocating or touching reclaim_str_hashtbl_size.  On
kmemdup() failure during the fold-in, return NULL so
__cld_pipe_inprogress_downcall() surfaces -EFAULT to nfsdcld, matching
the miss-path contract.

Add an rw_semaphore (reclaim_str_hashtbl_lock) to struct nfsd_net that
serialises all access to reclaim_str_hashtbl[] and
reclaim_str_hashtbl_size.  Writers (nfs4_client_to_reclaim,
nfs4_remove_reclaim_record callers) hold the write side; readers
(nfsd4_cld_check*, inc_reclaim_complete, clients_still_reclaiming,
nfs4_has_reclaimed_state, nfsd4_check_legacy_client) hold the read
side.  All call sites are in sleepable context, and none is a hot
path, so the rwsem cost is negligible.

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
