This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSD: Use set_bit(RQ_DROPME) 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-use-set_bit-rq_dropme.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 fc5b681f66fd4ad86dc8df55d27406c9d92179ef Author: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Jan 7 10:15:35 2023 -0500 NFSD: Use set_bit(RQ_DROPME) [ Upstream commit 5304930dbae82d259bcf7e5611db7c81e7a42eff ] The premise that "Once an svc thread is scheduled and executing an RPC, no other processes will touch svc_rqst::rq_flags" is false. svc_xprt_enqueue() examines the RQ_BUSY flag in scheduled nfsd threads when determining which thread to wake up next. Fixes: 9315564747cb ("NFSD: Use only RQ_DROPME to signal the need to drop a reply") Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c b/fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c index a5570cf75f3fd..9744443c39652 100644 --- a/fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c +++ b/fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c @@ -211,7 +211,7 @@ nfsd_proc_read(struct svc_rqst *rqstp) if (resp->status == nfs_ok) resp->status = fh_getattr(&resp->fh, &resp->stat); else if (resp->status == nfserr_jukebox) - __set_bit(RQ_DROPME, &rqstp->rq_flags); + set_bit(RQ_DROPME, &rqstp->rq_flags); return rpc_success; } @@ -246,7 +246,7 @@ nfsd_proc_write(struct svc_rqst *rqstp) if (resp->status == nfs_ok) resp->status = fh_getattr(&resp->fh, &resp->stat); else if (resp->status == nfserr_jukebox) - __set_bit(RQ_DROPME, &rqstp->rq_flags); + set_bit(RQ_DROPME, &rqstp->rq_flags); return rpc_success; }
