The error paths in nfsd_svc() are needlessly complex and can result in a final call to svc_put() without nfsd_last_thread() being called. This results in the listening sockets not being closed properly. The per-netns setup provided by nfsd_startup_new() and removed by nfsd_shutdown_net() is needed precisely when there are running threads. So we don't need nfsd_up_before. We don't need to know if it *was* up. We only need to know if any threads are left. If none are, then we must call nfsd_shutdown_net(). But we don't need to do that explicitly as nfsd_last_thread() does that for us. So simply call nfsd_last_thread() before the last svc_put() if there are no running threads. That will always do the right thing. Also discard: pr_info("nfsd: last server has exited, flushing export cache\n"); It may not be true if an attempt to start the first server failed, and it isn't particularly helpful and it simply reports normal behaviour.

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.
