Hi Jeff, Chuck, Greg,
After updating one of our builds along the 5.15.y LTS branch our testing
caught a new kernel bug. Output below.
I haven't dug into it yet but wondered if it rang any bells.
Thanks,
Chris

A bit more info. This is happening at "reboot" for us. Our embedded
devices use a bit of a hacked up reboot process so that they come back
faster in the case of a failure.
It doesn't happen with a proper `systemctl reboot` or with a SYSRQ+B
I can trigger it with `killall -9 nfsd` which I'm not sure is a
completely legit thing to do to kernel threads but it's probably close
to what our customized reboot does.

I've bisected between v5.15.153 and v5.15.155 and identified commit
dec6b8bcac73 ("nfsd: Simplify code around svc_exit_thread() call in
nfsd()") as the first bad commit. Based on the context that seems to
line up with my reproduction. I'm wondering if perhaps something got
missed out of the stable track? Unfortunately I'm not able to run a more
recent kernel with all of the nfs related setup that is being used on
the system in question.

Thanks for bisecting, that would have been my first suggestion.
The backport included all of the NFSD patches up to v6.2, but
there might be a missing server-side SunRPC patch. I'll try to
have a look soon, but this week is an NFS plug-fest. Neil,
maybe you can have a look too?

So dec6b8bcac73 ("nfsd: Simplify code around svc_exit_thread()
call in nfsd()") is from v6.6, so it was applied to v5.15.y
only to get a subsequent NFSD fix to apply.
The immediately previous upstream commit is missing:
390390240145 ("nfsd: don't allow nfsd threads to be signalled.")
For testing, I've applied this to my nfsd-5.15.y branch here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git
However even if that fixes the reported crash, this suggests
that after v6.6, nfsd threads are not going to respond to
"killall -9 nfsd".

I think this likely is the problem. The nfsd threads must be being
killed by a signal.
One only other cause for an nfsd thread to exit is if
svc_set_num_threads() is called, and all places that call that hold a
ref on the serv structure so the final put won't happen when the thread
exits.
Before the patch that bisect found, the nfsd thread would exit with
svc_get();
svc_exit_thread();
nfsd_put();
This also holds a ref across the svc_exit_thread(), and ensures the
final 'put' happens from nfsD_put(), not svc_put() (in
svc_exit_thread()).
Chris: what was the context when the crash happened? Could the nfsd
threads have been signalled? That hasn't been the standard way to stop
nfsd threads for a long time, so I'm a little surprised that it is
happening.

I cannot reproduce a crash when using "killall -9 nfsd" on the fixed
kernel above. On that kernel, the killall command does not terminate
the nfsd threads either.
Either we can apply 390390240145 to 5.15.y, or if the imperviousness
to "kill" is considered a regression, I can look into stripping out
dec6b8bcac73 and the subsequent commits that depend on it.

We use a hacked up version of shutdown from util-linux and which does a
`kill (-1, SIGTERM);` then `kill (-1, SIGKILL);` (I don't think that
particular behaviour is the hackery). I'm not sure if -1 will pick up
kernel threads but based on the symptoms it appears to be doing so (or
maybe something else is in it's SIGTERM handler). I don't think we were
ever really intending to send the signals to nfsd so whether it actually
terminates or not I don't think is an issue for us. I can confirm that
applying 390390240145 resolves the symptom we were seeing.

I'm 2/3 of the way through testing 5.15.156 with 390390240145
applied, so it would be just another day before I can send a
patch to stable@.
May I add Tested-by: Chris Packham <Chris.Packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz> ?

Makes sense - thanks.
"kill -1 ..." does send the signal to *every* process including kernel
threads. I'm glad you weren't depending on that to kill nfsd.
Hopefully no one else is. I think the best way forward is to apply that
patch to 5.15-stable as Chuck plans to do.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
