David Howells 033a666ccb NFSD: Don't hold unrefcounted creds over call to nfsd_setuser()
nfsd_open() gets an unrefcounted pointer to the current process's effective
credentials at the top of the function, then calls nfsd_setuser() via
fh_verify() - which may replace and destroy the current process's effective
credentials - and then passes the unrefcounted pointer to dentry_open() - but
the credentials may have been destroyed by this point.

Instead, the value from current_cred() should be passed directly to
dentry_open() as one of its arguments, rather than being cached in a variable.

Possibly fh_verify() should return the creds to use.

This is a regression introduced by
745ca2475a6ac596e3d8d37c2759c0fbe2586227 "CRED: Pass credentials through
dentry_open()".
