NFSv4: nfs4_state_manager() vs. nfs_server_remove_lists()
There is a race between nfs4_state_manager() and nfs_server_remove_lists() that happens during a nfsv3 mount. The v3 mount notices there is already a supper block so nfs_server_remove_lists() called which uses the nfs_client_lock spin lock to synchronize access to the client list. At the same time nfs4_state_manager() is running through the client list looking for work to do, using the same lock. When nfs4_state_manager() wins the race to the list, a v3 client pointer is found and not ignored properly which causes the panic. Moving some protocol checks before the state checking avoids the panic.
