CVE-2023-52623 is a race-condition flaw in the Linux kernel SUNRPC subsystem. The rpc_xprt_switch_has_addr() function traverses an RCU-protected list, but two of its three callers can invoke it without first acquiring rcu_read_lock(). This produces an "RCU-list traversed in non-reader section" lockdep warning during NFSv4 pNFS activity, including transport multipathing and data-server connection operations. The upstream fix makes rpc_xprt_switch_has_addr() unconditionally acquire the RCU read lock; recursive RCU read-side locking is safe for callers that already hold it.
