[PATCH] NFSv4.x: Fail client initialisation if state manager thread can't run

From: trondmy@kernel.org
Date: 2022-12-06 19:09:02
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), nfs, sunrpc, and lockd clients, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Trond Myklebust, Anna Schumaker, Linus Torvalds

From: Trond Myklebust <redacted>

If the state manager thread fails to start, then we should just mark the
client initialisation as failed so that other processes or threads don't
get stuck in nfs_wait_client_init_complete().

Reported-by: ChenXiaoSong <redacted>
Fixes: 4697bd5e9419 ("NFSv4: Fix a race in the net namespace mount notification")
