This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSD: Use xdr_inline_decode() to decode NFSv3 symlinks 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-use-xdr_inline_decode-to-decode-nfsv3-symlinks.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 3f313123b6b5256edab59005e5fe3c8e2c07cff6 Author: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Sep 12 17:23:02 2022 -0400 NFSD: Use xdr_inline_decode() to decode NFSv3 symlinks [ Upstream commit c3d2a04f05c590303c125a176e6e43df4a436fdb ] Replace the check for buffer over/underflow with a helper that is commonly used for this purpose. The helper also sets xdr->nwords correctly after successfully linearizing the symlink argument into the stream's scratch buffer.
