[ Upstream commit 7c9d845f0612e5bcd23456a2ec43be8ac43458f1 ] In nfs4_callback_devicenotify(), if we don't find a matching entry for the deviceid, we're left with a pointer to 'struct nfs_server' that actually points to the list of super blocks associated with our struct nfs_client. Furthermore, even if we have a valid pointer, nothing pins the super block, and so the struct nfs_server could end up getting freed while we're using it. Since all we want is a pointer to the struct pnfs_layoutdriver_type, let's skip all the iteration over super blocks, and just use APIs to find the layout driver directly.

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.
