Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: cancel nfsd_shrinker_work using sync mode in nfs4_state_shutdown_net
In the normal case, when we excute `echo 0 > /proc/fs/nfsd/threads`, the
function `nfs4_state_destroy_net` in `nfs4_state_shutdown_net` will
release all resources related to the hashed `nfs4_client`. If the
`nfsd_client_shrinker` is running concurrently, the `expire_client`
function will first unhash this client and then destroy it. This can
lead to the following warning. Additionally, numerous use-after-free
errors may occur as well.
nfsd_client_shrinker echo 0 > /proc/fs/nfsd/threads
expire_client nfsd_shutdown_net
unhash_client ...

/* won't wait shrinker exit */
/* cancel_work(&nn->nfsd_shrinker_work)
* nfsd_file for this /* won't destroy unhashed client1 */
* client1 still alive nfs4_state_destroy_net

kmem_cache_destroy(nfsd_file_mark_slab)

To resolve this issue, cancel `nfsd_shrinker_work` using synchronous
mode in nfs4_state_shutdown_net.
