NFS: guard against confused server in nfs_atomic_open()
A confused server could return a filehandle for an NFSv4 OPEN request, which it previously returned for a directory. So the inode returned by ->open_context() in nfs_atomic_open() could conceivably be a directory inode. This has particular implications for the call to nfs_file_set_open_context() in nfs_finish_open(). If that is called on a directory inode, then the nfs_open_context that gets stored in the filp->private_data will be linked to nfs_inode->open_files. When the directory is closed, nfs_closedir() will (ultimately) free the ->private_data, but not unlink it from nfs_inode->open_files (because it doesn't expect an nfs_open_context there). Subsequently the memory could get used for something else and eventually if the ->open_files list is walked, the walker will fall off the end and crash. So: change nfs_finish_open() to only call nfs_file_set_open_context() for regular-file inodes. This failure mode has been seen in a production setting (unknown NFS server implementation). The kernel was v3.0 and the specific sequence seen would not affect more recent kernels, but I think a risk is still present, and caution is wise.
