Bill.Baker@oracle.com ad86f605c5 nfs: system crashes after NFS4ERR_MOVED recovery
nfs4_update_server unconditionally releases the nfs_client for the
source server. If migration fails, this can cause the source server's
nfs_client struct to be left with a low reference count, resulting in
use-after-free.  Also, adjust reference count handling for ELOOP.

This bug was introduced by 32e62b7c ("NFS: Add nfs4_update_server"),
but the fix applies cleanly to 52442f9b ("NFS4: Avoid migration loops")

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
