Summary
nfsd: guard nfsd_serv deref in nfsd_file_net_dispose
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfsd: guard nfsd_serv deref in nfsd_file_net_dispose

nfsd_file_net_dispose() is the consumer side of l->freeme: the nfsd service thread loop calls it to drain entries that the filecache garbage collector and shrinker append via nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed(). During per-net teardown, nn->nfsd_serv is cleared before the filecache laundrette is shut down, so the service thread can still run a dispose pass that finds more than eight entries on l->freeme and dereferences a NULL svc_serv:

nfsd service thread loop
  nfsd_file_net_dispose(nn)
    if (!list_empty(&l->freeme)) {
        ...
        svc_wake_up(nn->nfsd_serv);   /* nn->nfsd_serv == NULL */
    }

The sibling helper nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed() already documents this ordering and caches nn->nfsd_serv into a local before testing it for NULL. nfsd_file_net_dispose() was introduced with the same raw svc_wake_up(nn->nfsd_serv) call and never picked up the guard.

Fix by loading nn->nfsd_serv into a local svc_serv pointer and only calling svc_wake_up() when it is non-NULL, matching the pattern in nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed().
