If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ecafc1aaf427efc20ae971685a6e76a85ff5dd7a Author: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Sep 17 19:05:50 2023 -0400 NFSv4: Fix a nfs4_state_manager() race [ Upstream commit ed1cc05aa1f7fe8197d300e914afc28ab9818f89 ] If the NFS4CLNT_RUN_MANAGER flag got set just before we cleared NFS4CLNT_MANAGER_RUNNING, then we might have won the race against nfs4_schedule_state_manager(), and are responsible for handling the recovery situation.
