This same patch was sent last July, without the Reported-by:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/[email protected]/T/#u

If I'm reading the code correctly, it appears that set_max_drc()
can be called more than once by user space API functions via
nfsd_create_serv().

It seems to me we want to guarantee that nfsd_drc_lock is
initialized exactly once, and using DEFINE_SPINLOCK() would
do just that.

Likewise, re-initializing nfsd_drc_mem_used is probably not good
to do either, but clobbering a spinlock like that might lead to
a crash.

Bruce, any further thoughts?

The other nfsd_drc_lock users run in nfsd threads, which shouldn't be
running yet at the point we call set_max_drc.

Reinitializing the lock each time is pretty weird, though, ACK to the
patch even if it's just cleanup.
