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.

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