Actually. Looking around at the server side, there appear to be a couple of potential problems too...
There don't seem to be any checks and balances to prevent the user from removing the sunrpc module immediately after svc_create_thread() gets called. I presume that the call to lockd_up() in nfsd() will help (since that calls rpciod_up() and hence MOD_INC_COUNT) but AFAICS there appears to be plenty of possible races before we get to that point.
