This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSD: Clean up nfsd3_proc_create() 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-nfsd3_proc_create.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 732b3e888bfe1b511ce639b061d6467e5b1303e2 Author: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 25 14:47:54 2022 -0400 NFSD: Clean up nfsd3_proc_create() [ Upstream commit e61568599c9ad638fdaba150fee07d7065e31851 ] As near as I can tell, mode bit masking and setting S_IFREG is already done by do_nfsd_create() and vfs_create(). The NFSv4 path (do_open_lookup), for example, does not bother with this special processing.
