This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSv4.1: fix SP4_MACH_CRED protection for pnfs IO to the 6.1-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-fix-sp4_mach_cred-protection-for-pnfs-io.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 29e78846dd1fddd4ed31ec18d7f251f733d1b406 Author: Olga Kornievskaia <kolga@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 13 11:04:10 2023 -0400 NFSv4.1: fix SP4_MACH_CRED protection for pnfs IO [ Upstream commit 5cc7688bae7f0757c39c1d3dfdd827b724061067 ] If the client is doing pnfs IO and Kerberos is configured and EXCHANGEID successfully negotiated SP4_MACH_CRED and WRITE/COMMIT are on the list of state protected operations, then we need to make sure to choose the DS's rpc_client structure instead of the MDS's one.
