This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSv4.1: freeze the session table upon receiving NFS4ERR_BADSESSION 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: nfsv4.1-freeze-the-session-table-upon-receiving-nfs4.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 c75abb197fd47273f1a9756a46daaf04dc03bb9e Author: Olga Kornievskaia <kolga@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jun 18 17:32:25 2023 -0400 NFSv4.1: freeze the session table upon receiving NFS4ERR_BADSESSION [ Upstream commit c907e72f58ed979a24a9fdcadfbc447c51d5e509 ] When the client received NFS4ERR_BADSESSION, it schedules recovery and start the state manager thread which in turn freezes the session table and does not allow for any new requests to use the no-longer valid session. However, it is possible that before the state manager thread runs, a new operation would use the released slot that received BADSESSION and was therefore not updated its sequence number. Such re-use of the slot can lead the application errors.
