This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled afs: Fix fileserver probe RTT handling to the 5.4-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: afs-fix-fileserver-probe-rtt-handling.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c7ee09d8aabcb51962f39c8345a78d9b9bf127dd Author: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 28 22:02:56 2022 +0000 afs: Fix fileserver probe RTT handling [ Upstream commit ca57f02295f188d6c65ec02202402979880fa6d8 ] The fileserver probing code attempts to work out the best fileserver to use for a volume by retrieving the RTT calculated by AF_RXRPC for the probe call sent to each server and comparing them. Sometimes, however, no RTT estimate is available and rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() returns false, leading good fileservers to be given an RTT of UINT_MAX and thus causing the rotation algorithm to ignore them. Fix afs_select_fileserver() to ignore rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt()'s return value and just take the estimated RTT it provides - which will be capped at 1 second.
