[PATCH] nfsd: properly tear down server when write_ports fails

[Jeff Layton]

When the initial write to the "portlist" file fails, we'll currently put
the reference to the nn->nfsd_serv, but leave the pointer intact. This
leads to a UAF if someone tries to write to "portlist" again.

Simple reproducer, from a host with nfsd shut down:

    # echo "foo 2049" > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist
    # echo "foo 2049" > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist

The kernel will oops on the second one when it trips over the dangling
nn->nfsd_serv pointer. There is a similar bug in __write_ports_addfd.

This patch fixes it by adding some extra logic to nfsd_put to ensure
that nfsd_last_thread is called prior to putting the reference when the
conditions are right.

Fixes: 9f28a971ee9f ("nfsd: separate nfsd_last_thread() from nfsd_put()")
Closes: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-19081

This should probably go to stable, but we'll need to backport for v6.6
since older kernels don't have nfsd_nl_rpc_status_get_done. We should
just be able to drop that hunk though.
