This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSv4: Handle case where the lookup of a directory fails to the 4.9-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-handle-case-where-the-lookup-of-a-directory-fa.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6ad620efd10e1b77690424651775e7c427a20339 Author: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jan 6 18:24:02 2022 -0500 NFSv4: Handle case where the lookup of a directory fails [ Upstream commit ac795161c93699d600db16c1a8cc23a65a1eceaf ] If the application sets the O_DIRECTORY flag, and tries to open a regular file, nfs_atomic_open() will punt to doing a regular lookup. If the server then returns a regular file, we will happily return a file descriptor with uninitialised open state. The fix is to return the expected ENOTDIR error in these cases.
