Below are races, when RPC client can be created without PiepFS dentries
CPU#0 CPU#1
----------------------------- -----------------------------
rpc_new_client rpc_fill_super
rpc_setup_pipedir
mutex_lock(&sn->pipefs_sb_lock)
rpc_get_sb_net == NULL
(no per-net PipeFS superblock)
sn->pipefs_sb = sb;
notifier_call_chain(MOUNT)
(client is not in the list)
rpc_register_client
(client without pipes dentries)
To fix this patch:
1) makes PipeFS mount notification call with pipefs_sb_lock being held.
2) releases pipefs_sb_lock on new SUNRPC client creation only after
registration.
