Subject: Files leak from nfsd in 4.7.1-rc1 (and more?)

Hello!

   I've been trying to better understand this problem I was having where sometimes
   a formerly NFS-exported mountpoint becomes unmountable (after nfsd stop).

   I finally traced it to a leaked filedescriptor that was allocated from
   nfsd4_open()->nfsd4_process_open2()->nfs4_get_vfs_file()->nfsd_open().

   Also together with it we see leaked credentials allocated along the same path from
   fh_verify() and groups allocated from svcauth_unix_accept()->groups_alloc() that
   are presumably used by the credentials.

   Unfortunately I was not able to make total sense out of the state handling in nfsd,
   but it's clear that one of the file descriptors inside struct nfs4_file is
   lost. I added a patch like this (always a good idea, so surprised it was not
   there already):
@@ -271,6 +274,9 @@ static void nfsd4_free_file_rcu(struct rcu_head *rcu)
 {
        struct nfs4_file *fp = container_of(rcu, struct nfs4_file, fi_rcu);
 
+       WARN_ON(fp->fi_fds[0]);
+       WARN_ON(fp->fi_fds[1]);
+       WARN_ON(fp->fi_fds[2]);
        kmem_cache_free(file_slab, fp);
 }

   And when the problem is hit, I am also triggering (Always this one which is fd[1])

  release_all_access() seems to be doing correct job of all that cleaning, so
  there must be some other path that I do not quite see.

  Hopefully you are more familiar with the code and can see the problem right away ;)
