Hi,
 I have a customer with a 4.12-based kernel who is experiencing memory
 exhaustion.

 There are over 100,000 rpc_rqst structures queue on sv_cb_list for
 handing by the NFSv4 callback, which is idle.

 The rpc_rqst.rq_xprt pointer points to freed memory.

 I notice that that server code calls svc_xprt_get() on the xprt
 before storing it in rq_xprt, but the client/backchannel code doesn't.

 I'm wondering if the following might be useful.

 I plan to explore the code a bit more tomorrow and if this  still seems
 likely I get the customer to test this change, but I thought I would
 ask here as well incase someone more knowledgeable can give me any
 pointers.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
