This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSD: Clean up nfsd_vfs_write() to the 5.15-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: nfsd-clean-up-nfsd_vfs_write.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0f0a5671148a631823b85cb61bb8c2c4b19e0797 Author: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 28 14:19:41 2021 -0500 NFSD: Clean up nfsd_vfs_write() [ Upstream commit 33388b3aefefd4d83764dab8038cb54068161a44 ] The RWF_SYNC and !RWF_SYNC arms are now exactly alike except that the RWF_SYNC arm resets the boot verifier twice in a row. Fix that redundancy and de-duplicate the code.
