Public bug reported: [ Impact ]
* Users experience SEGFAULTs when Ganesha fails to communicate with Gluster, causing the NFS share to disappear. * The patch refactors how free_space() is called to avoid the null pointer deference. [ Test Plan ] * The triggers for the issue are difficult to replicate and have to do with the timing of Ganesha communicating with Gluster. I have compiled the patch against version 4.3-8ubuntu1 of nfs-ganesha and it resolved the issue on my system. [ Where problems could occur ] * Possible memory leaks, however this change has been part of nfs- ganesha since v5. The latest version of nfs-ganesha is 5.7. I don't know of other related issues.
