If clp->cl_cb_ident is zero, then nfs_cb_idr_remove_locked() skips removing
it when the nfs_client is freed.  A decoding or server bug can then find
and try to put that first nfs_client which would lead to a crash.

Thanks for fixing!
Have you ever seen such a crash in the wild? IOW: is this something we
should consider for stable?

Cheers

Yes, there's a server that sometimes sends truncated cb_compounds, and this
bug is hit if we continue decoding 0's past the end of received data since
cb_ident ends up being 0.  Both fixes I sent today are trying to handle that
particular behavior.

OK. I'll mark both for stable inclusion then.

Thanks!
