This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled SUNRPC: remove the maximum number of retries in call_bind_status to the 6.3-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: sunrpc-remove-the-maximum-number-of-retries-in-call_.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit dcbbe5b5fb9555c626589b1edd34dd6dfc68f2e0 Author: Dai Ngo <dai.ngo@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 18 13:19:02 2023 -0700 SUNRPC: remove the maximum number of retries in call_bind_status [ Upstream commit 691d0b782066a6eeeecbfceb7910a8f6184e6105 ] Currently call_bind_status places a hard limit of 3 to the number of retries on EACCES error. This limit was done to prevent NLM unlock requests from being hang forever when the server keeps returning garbage. However this change causes problem for cases when NLM service takes longer than 9 seconds to register with the port mapper after a restart. This patch removes this hard coded limit and let the RPC handles the retry based on the standard hard/soft task semantics.
