From 9d3792aefdcda71d20c2b1ecc589c17ae71eb523 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2021 15:51:25 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] NFSD: narrow nfsd_mutex protection in nfsd thread There is nothing happening in the start of nfsd() that requires protection by the mutex, so don't take it until shutting down the thread - which does still require protection - but only for nfsd_put().
