Both nfsd and nfsv4-callback take a temporary reference to the svc_serv while calling svc_set_num_threads() to stop the last thread. lockd does not. This extra reference prevents the scv_serv from being freed when the last thread drops its reference count. This is not currently needed for lockd as the svc_serv is not accessed after the last thread is told to exit. However a future patch will require svc_exit_thread() to access the svc_serv after the svc_put() so it will need the code that calls svc_set_num_threads() to keep a reference and keep the svc_serv active. So copy the pattern from nfsd and nfsv4-cb to lockd, and take a reference around svc_set_num_threads(.., 0) Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> Tested-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
