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

nfsd: fix layout fence worker double-reference race

The workqueue core clears WORK_STRUCT_PENDING before the callback
is invoked, so delayed_work_pending() in lm_breaker_timedout() can
return false while the fence worker is already running. This lets
the breaker take a duplicate sc_count reference and schedule a new
worker that coalesces with the in-progress one. The extra reference
is never put, leaking the layout stateid.

Replace the racy delayed_work_pending() check with an
ls_fence_inflight boolean set atomically with
refcount_inc_not_zero() under ls_lock, and cleared under ls_lock
before the final nfs4_put_stid() on the dispose path; the retry
path intentionally retains it.  Remove the self-rearm
mod_delayed_work() at the top of the worker.
