This commit that introduced the segfault was applied o the 0.8-release
branch with
https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/commit/95fcb04215015950b3388ba0a6edad8e1b463415
so Focal and Groovy are affected.

That change was never applied to the 0.6.5-release or 0.7-release
branches, so Bionic and Xenial aren't affected.

** No longer affects: zfs-linux (Ubuntu Xenial)

** No longer affects: zfs-linux (Ubuntu Bionic)

Title:
  zfs mount -a: double free / memory corruption / segfault when
  mountpoint of dataset is not empty

Status in zfs-linux source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed
Status in zfs-linux source package in Groovy:

Status in zfs-linux source package in Hirsute:

Bug description:
  == SRU Justification Focal ==

  zfs mount -a when run on a nonempty mountpoint causes a double free,
  memory corruption, and a segfault.

  == Impact ==

  Double free and memory corruption in ZFS when run as root and
  attempting to mount all. While running this I observed other ZFS
  volumes randomly unmounting, and mount points owner being spuriously
  zeroed (set to root).

  == Fix ==

  https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/commit/d1b84da8c1a69c084f04b504beefe804591bca07

  == Test ==

  Steps are laid out in the ZFS issue:
  https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/9560

  == Regression Potential ==

  Limited to the behavior of zfs mount when a previous attempt to mount
  has failed, or is still in progress. Changes the behavior in that case
  to failure, instead of double-free.
