This patch may cause memory leak in NFSv4.1. If the stateid released is the last one in nfs4_openowner, nfs4_openowner will be deallocated immediately, and NULL will be assigned to cstate->replay_owner at the same time. In this situation encode_seqid_op_tail() cannot be called. To avoid this problem, we can free the stateid just before or after nfs4_opwnowner deallocation.

Another question, cl_stateid in struct nfsd4_close will be returned to the client, so original comment is right even though applying this patch. Can this struct be commented like this.

struct nfsd4_close {
        u32             cl_seqid;           /* request */
        stateid_t       cl_stateid;         /* request+response */
        struct nfs4_ol_stateid *cl_closed_stateid; /* used during processing */
};
