Summary
[none]
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: initialise nfsdinfo.mutex early. nfsdinfo.mutex can be dereferenced by svcpoolstats_start() immediately after the new netns is created. Currently this can trigger an oops. Move the initialisation earlier before it can possibly be dereferenced.
