[ Upstream commit f385f7d244134246f984975ed34cd75f77de479f ]
Currently the nfsd-client shrinker is registered and unregistered at
the time the nfsd module is loaded and unloaded. The problem with this
is the shrinker is being registered before all of the relevant fields
in nfsd_net are initialized when nfsd is started. This can lead to an
oops when memory is low and the shrinker is called while nfsd is not
running.
This patch moves the register/unregister of nfsd-client shrinker from
module load/unload time to nfsd startup/shutdown time.

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.
