This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSv4: Fix a regression in nfs_set_open_stateid_locked() to the 5.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nfsv4-fix-a-regression-in-nfs_set_open_stateid_locke.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ac1bd0b7faa3e79a1587d5970a9341c81891172d Author: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 26 21:56:40 2021 -0400 NFSv4: Fix a regression in nfs_set_open_stateid_locked() [ Upstream commit 01d29f87fcfef38d51ce2b473981a5c1e861ac0a ] If we already hold open state on the client, yet the server gives us a completely different stateid to the one we already hold, then we currently treat it as if it were an out-of-sequence update, and wait for 5 seconds for other updates to come in. This commit fixes the behaviour so that we immediately start processing of the new stateid, and then leave it to the call to nfs4_test_and_free_stateid() to decide what to do with the old stateid.
