[PATCH 4.14 038/193] NFS: make nfs_match_client killable

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed May 29 2019 - 23:39:23 EST


[ Upstream commit 950a578c6128c2886e295b9c7ecb0b6b22fcc92b ]

Actually we don't do anything with return value from
nfs_wait_client_init_complete in nfs_match_client, as a
consequence if we get a fatal signal and client is not
fully initialised, we'll loop to "again" label

This has been proven to cause soft lockups on some scenarios
(no-carrier but configured network interfaces)
