CVE-2025-21795 is a Linux kernel NFSD flaw in NFSv4 callback shutdown handling. When an nfs4_client is in courtesy state, NFSD can unnecessarily issue a callback RPC. Because cl_cb_inflight remains nonzero, nfsd4_shutdown_callback hangs. The corrective change makes nfsd4_run_cb_work skip the callback RPC for clients in courtesy state.
