Subject: [PATCH nfsd-next] NFSD: simplify error paths in nfsd_svc()


The error paths in nfsd_svc() are needlessly complex and can result in a
final call to svc_put() without nfsd_last_thread() being called. This
results in the listening sockets not being closed properly.

The per-netns setup provided by nfsd_startup_new() and removed by
nfsd_shutdown_net() is needed precisely when there are running threads.
So we don't need nfsd_up_before. We don't need to know if it *was* up.
We only need to know if any threads are left. If none are, then we must
call nfsd_shutdown_net(). But we don't need to do that explicitly as
nfsd_last_thread() does that for us.

So simply call nfsd_last_thread() before the last svc_put() if there are
no running threads. That will always do the right thing.

Also discard:
pr_info("nfsd: last server has exited, flushing export cache\n");
It may not be true if an attempt to start the first server failed, and
it isn't particularly helpful and it simply reports normal behaviour.

Thanks. Removing that is long overdue.

Applied to nfsd-next.
