From: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>

There are now tools in the refcount library that allow us to convert the
client shutdown code.

I guess we're not worried about extra calls racing into rpc_free_auth?

.. hmm, it looks like current code can do that already since we're bumping the
ref up again. Seems like we could end up in rpcauth_release twice with
an underflow on au_count.

The refcount would normally be going to zero in the above case. If
anything outside the RPC code itself tries to bump the counter then
that is a very clear cut case of use-after-free.

As I said, only if there is a use-after-free bug somewhere else.

I am thinking about users of rpc_release_client() calling it multiple times,
but perhaps that's not something that happens. This is a different issue
that's not added by your patch, I was noticing it.
