This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSD: Optimize nfsd4_encode_fattr() to the 5.10-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-optimize-nfsd4_encode_fattr.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1c500812e2552191fd1c2c9c6af92adf140b82fd Author: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jul 22 16:08:45 2022 -0400 NFSD: Optimize nfsd4_encode_fattr() [ Upstream commit ab04de60ae1cc64ae16b77feae795311b97720c7 ] write_bytes_to_xdr_buf() is a generic way to place a variable-length data item in an already-reserved spot in the encoding buffer. However, it is costly. In nfsd4_encode_fattr(), it is unnecessary because the data item is fixed in size and the buffer destination address is always word-aligned.
