>Description:
        While working on the NFS server code I noticed that several
        places use members of struct nfssvc_sock in a way that is not
        obviously thread-safe.
        There appears to be no locking to prevent a nfssvc_sock that has been
        checked as SLP_VALID to become invalid while in use.
        Some places recheck SLP_VALID where appropriate but some don't.
        Especially I suspect there's a possible use after free of
        ns_nam in nfssvc_nfsd(), as nothing seems to prevent nfsrv_zapsock()
        from freeing it while nd_nam points to it. More generally the tail
        of nfssvc_nfsd() doens't look safe.

        If concurent execution of nfssvc_addsock() and nfsrv_zapsock()
        possible ? If so nfssvc_addsock() would need to take the ns_lock,
        and revisit the way SLP_VALID is handled in these 2 functions.

        Last I suspect a race between sys_nfssvc() and nfsrv_zapsock()
        could cause a corruption of the UID hash lists. More generally
        what prevents concurent updates of the ns_uidlruhead ?

        code inspection
