Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: drop st_mutex and rp_mutex before calling
 move_to_close_lru()
Patch-mainline: Submitted - 22dec2023 linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org
References: bsc#1217525

move_to_close_lru() is currently called with ->st_mutex and .rp_mutex held.
This can lead to a deadlock as move_to_close_lru() waits for sc_count to
drop to 2, and some threads holding a reference might be waiting for either
mutex.  These references will never be dropped so sc_count will never
reach 2.

There can be no harm in dropping ->st_mutex to before
move_to_close_lru() because the only place that takes the mutex is
nfsd4_lock_ol_stateid(), and it quickly aborts if sc_type is
NFS4_CLOSED_STID, which it will be before move_to_close_lru() is called.

Similarly dropping .rp_mutex is safe after the state is closed and so
no longer usable.  Another way to look at this is that nothing
significant happens between when nfsd4_close() now calls
nfsd4_cstate_clear_replay(), and where nfsd4_proc_compound calls
nfsd4_cstate_clear_replay() a little later.
