Subject: [PATCH 3.2 046/140] kernel: make groups_sort calling a
 responsibility group_info allocators

3.2.100-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thiago Rafael Becker <thiago.becker@...il.com>

commit bdcf0a423ea1c40bbb40e7ee483b50fc8aa3d758 upstream.

In testing, we found that nfsd threads may call set_groups in parallel
for the same entry cached in auth.unix.gid, racing in the call of
groups_sort, corrupting the groups for that entry and leading to
permission denials for the client.

This patch:
 - Make groups_sort globally visible.
 - Move the call to groups_sort to the modifiers of group_info
 - Remove the call to groups_sort from set_groups
