CVE-2025-38231
nfsd: Initialize ssc before laundromat_work to prevent NULL dereference
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: Initialize ssc before laundromat_work to prevent NULL dereference
In nfs4_state_start_net(), laundromat_work may access nfsd_ssc through
nfs4_laundromat -> nfsd4_ssc_expire_umount. If nfsd_ssc isn't initialized,
this can cause NULL pointer dereference.
Normally the delayed start of laundromat_work allows sufficient time for
nfsd_ssc initialization to complete. However, when the kernel waits too
long for userspace responses (e.g. in nfs4_state_start_net ->
nfsd4_end_grace -> nfsd4_record_grace_done -> nfsd4_cld_grace_done ->
cld_pipe_upcall -> __cld_pipe_upcall -> wait_for_completion path), the
delayed work may start before nfsd_ssc initialization finishes.
Fix this by moving nfsd_ssc initialization before starting laundromat_work.
