J. Bruce Fields 880a3a5325 nfsd: fix incorrect umasks
We're neglecting to clear the umask after it's set, which can cause a
later unrelated rpc to (incorrectly) use the same umask if it happens to
be processed by the same thread.

There's a more subtle problem here too:

An NFSv4 compound request is decoded all in one pass before any
operations are executed.

Currently we're setting current->fs->umask at the time we decode the
compound.  In theory a single compound could contain multiple creates
each setting a umask.  In that case we'd end up using whichever umask
was passed in the *last* operation as the umask for all the creates,
whether that was correct or not.

So, we should just be saving the umask at decode time and waiting to set
it until we actually process the corresponding operation.

In practice it's unlikely any client would do multiple creates in a
single compound.  And even if it did they'd likely be from the same
process (hence carry the same umask).  So this is a little academic, but
we should get it right anyway.

Fixes: 47057abde5 (nfsd: add support for the umask attribute)

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
