    Subject[PATCH 0/7] Intro: convert lockd to kthread and fix use-after-free (try #3)
    Date
    This is the third patchset to fix the use-after-free problem in lockd,
    and to convert lockd to use the kthread API instead of kernel_thread.
    The main change from the last patchset is the elimination of the
    svc_create_kthread helper function, and having lockd_up call kthread_run
    directly. I've also made some changes to the function prototype for
    the lockd function to eliminate the need for casting the function
    pointer.

    Tested against the reproducer I have for the main issue (detailed in
    patch #7). As always, comments and suggestions are appreciated.
