This is wrong, ->real_parent could be freed/reused. Both ->parent/real_parent point to nothing after __exit_signal() because we remove the child from ->children list, and thus the child can't be reparented when its parent exits. rcu_read_lock() protects ->parent/real_parent, but _only_ if we know it was valid before we take rcu lock.

knfsd: Allow NFSv2/3 WRITE calls to succeed when krb5i etc is used. 2008-01-13T17:57:57+00:00 NeilBrown neilb@suse.de 2008-01-11T22:06:52+00:00 ba67a39efde8312e386c6f603054f8945433d91f When RPCSEC/GSS and krb5i is used, requests are padded, typically to a multiple of 8 bytes. This can make the request look slightly longer than it really is.
