[ Upstream commit 8d0d254b15cc5b7d46d85fb7ab8ecede9575e672 ] nfsd_file_unhash_and_dispose() is called for two reasons: We're either shutting down and purging the filecache, or we've gotten a notification about a file delete, so we want to go ahead and unhash it so that it'll get cleaned up when we close. We're either walking the hashtable or doing a lookup in it and we don't take a reference in either case. What we want to do in both cases is to try and unhash the object and put it on the dispose list if that was successful. If it's no longer hashed, then we don't want to touch it, with the assumption being that something else is already cleaning up the sentinel reference. Instead of trying to selectively decrement the refcount in this function, just unhash it, and if that was successful, move it to the dispose list. Then, the disposal routine will just clean that up as usual. Also, just make this a void function, drop the WARN_ON_ONCE, and the comments about deadlocking since the nature of the purported deadlock is no longer clear.

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.
