The below-mentioned patch was intended to simplify refcounting on the
svc_serv used by locked. The goal was to only ever have a single
reference from the single thread. To that end we dropped a call to
lockd_start_svc() (except when creating thread) which would take a
reference, and dropped the svc_put(serv) that would drop that reference.
Unfortunately we didn't also remove the svc_get() from
lockd_create_svc() in the case where the svc_serv already existed.
So after the patch:
- on the first call the svc_serv was allocated and the one reference
was given to the thread, so there are no extra references
- on subsequent calls svc_get() was called so there is now an extra
reference.
This is clearly not consistent.
The inconsistency is also clear in the current code in lockd_get()
takes *two* references, one on nlmsvc_serv and one by incrementing
nlmsvc_users. This clearly does not match lockd_put().
So: drop that svc_get() from lockd_get() (which used to be in
lockd_create_svc().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
