This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled block/rnbd-srv: Set keep_id to true after mutex_trylock to the 5.18-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: block-rnbd-srv-set-keep_id-to-true-after-mutex_trylo.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b75459de48a84a6aab6e808db45fc1bd151c898c Author: Md Haris Iqbal <haris.iqbal@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jul 7 16:31:21 2022 +0200 block/rnbd-srv: Set keep_id to true after mutex_trylock [ Upstream commit 4bc14f3101364877dd59085f39e068a2a7ec9f2d ] After setting keep_id if the mutex trylock fails, the keep_id stays set for the rest of the sess_dev lifetime. Therefore, set keep_id to true after mutex_trylock succeeds, so that a failure of trylock does'nt touch keep_id.
