[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: oops exporting nonexistent directory
Export a directory that does not exist: exportfs -orw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check client:/home/NFS4 Try to mount from client with nfs4. Mount hangs (I'm not sure why - that's another issue). While client is hung, back on server mkdir /home/NFS4 The server panics in dput. I traced the problem back to svc_export_parse() calling path_release() even though path_lookup() failed (it happens to fill in the nameidata structure with a negative dentry - so the test after out: succeeds). After patching, an recreating the problem, the client mount still takes some time before finally exiting with a message "couldn't read superblock". Here is a simple patch to resolve this issue: Signed-off-by: Frank Filz <ffilzlnx@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: J.
