What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfs_common: must not hold RCU while calling nfsd_file_put_local

Move holding the RCU from nfs_to_nfsd_file_put_local to

nfs_to_nfsd_net_put. It is the call to nfs_to->nfsd_serv_put that

requires the RCU anyway (the puts for nfsd_file and netns were

combined to avoid an extra indirect reference but that

micro-optimization isn't possible now).

This fixes xfstests generic/013 and it triggering:

"Voluntary context switch within RCU read-side critical section!"
