+Subject: Revert "NFSD: Defer sub-object cleanup in export put callbacks"
+
+From: Yang Erkun <yangerkun@huawei.com>
+
+commit 516403d4d85607fdef3ca41d4a56b54e5566fa9a upstream.
+
+This reverts commit 48db892356d6cb80f6942885545de4a6dd8d2a29.
+
+Commit 48db892356d6 ("NFSD: Defer sub-object cleanup in export
+put callbacks") moved path_put() and auth_domain_put() out of
+svc_export_put() and expkey_put() and behind queue_rcu_work() to
+close a claimed use-after-free in e_show() and c_show() against
+ex_path and ex_client->name. Discussion in [1] shows neither
+the diagnosis nor the remedy survives review.
+
+The downstream teardown of both sub-objects is already RCU-deferred.
+auth_domain_put() reaches svcauth_unix_domain_release(), which frees
+the unix_domain and its ->name through call_rcu(). path_put()
+reaches dentry_free(), which frees the dentry through call_rcu(),
+and prepend_path() is already structured to tolerate concurrent
+dentry teardown. A reader in cache_seq_start_rcu() therefore
+observes both sub-objects through the next grace period regardless
+of whether svc_export_put() runs synchronously, so the synchronous
+form was never unsafe.
+
+The crash signature in the report cited by commit 48db892356d6
+("NFSD: Defer sub-object cleanup in export put callbacks") has a
+different root cause: a /proc/net/rpc cache file held open across
+network-namespace exit lets cache_destroy_net() free cd->hash_table
+while a reader is still walking it. The correct fix pins cd->net for
+the open fd's lifetime and does not require any deferral inside
+svc_export_put().
+
+Meanwhile, deferring path_put() out of svc_export_put() reintroduces
+the regression that commit 69d803c40ede ("nfsd: Revert "nfsd:
+release svc_expkey/svc_export with rcu_work"") repaired: after
+"exportfs -r" drops the last cache reference, the mount reference
+held through ex_path lingers in the workqueue, so a subsequent
+umount fails with EBUSY.
+
+Restore the synchronous path_put() and auth_domain_put() in
+svc_export_put() and expkey_put() and the call_rcu()/kfree_rcu()
+free of the containing structures. The unrelated fix for
+ex_uuid/ex_stats from commit 2530766492ec ("nfsd: fix UAF when
+access ex_uuid or ex_stats") is preserved.
