6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Chris Mason <redacted>

commit be3a5c1d857b0dcbc11796cea603ef25834f75b2 upstream.

nfs4_alloc_init_cpntf_state() published the new cpntf entry into the
s2s_cp_stateids IDR (with cs_type set) in one s2s_cp_lock section, then
took the lock again to list_add() it onto p_stid->sc_cp_list. In the gap
the entry is reachable by so_id but cp_list is still {NULL,NULL} from
kzalloc. A racing OFFLOAD_CANCEL (so_id is echoed to the client as
cnr_stateid, so any NFSv4.2 client can drive it) reaches
manage_cpntf_state() -> _free_cpntf_state_locked() and does list_del() on
the zeroed list_head, oopsing the server.

Fold the cs_type assignment and the list_add() into the same critical
section as idr_alloc_cyclic(), so a concurrent lookup either misses the
entry or sees a fully linked cp_list. INIT_LIST_HEAD() the entry after
allocation and switch _free_cpntf_state_locked() to list_del_init() so a
stale unlink is a no-op. nfs4_init_copy_state() passes NULL p_stid and
skips the list_add, preserving NFS4_COPY_STID semantics.
