nfs_idmap_instantiate() will cause the process that is waiting in
request_key_with_auxdata() to wake up and exit. If there is a second
process waiting for the idmap->idmap_mutex, then it may wake up and
start a new call to request_key_with_auxdata(). If the call to
idmap_pipe_downcall() from the first process has not yet finished
calling nfs_idmap_complete_pipe_upcall_locked(), then we may end up
triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE() in nfs_idmap_prepare_pipe_upcall().
The fix is to ensure that we clear idmap->idmap_upcall_data before
calling nfs_idmap_instantiate().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
