This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFS: Correct timing for assigning access cache timestamp to the 6.2-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: nfs-correct-timing-for-assigning-access-cache-timest.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b2bead9dcb59f2860d62275ee0ee1761a7ebe45a Author: Chengen Du <chengen.du@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 8 16:03:27 2023 +0800 NFS: Correct timing for assigning access cache timestamp [ Upstream commit 21fd9e8700de86d1169f6336e97d7a74916ed04a ] When the user's login time is newer than the cache's timestamp, the original entry in the RB-tree will be replaced by a new entry. Currently, the timestamp is only set if the entry is not found in the RB-tree, which can cause the timestamp to be undefined when the entry exists. This may result in a significant increase in ACCESS operations if the timestamp is set to zero.
