This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSD: Clean up nfs4svc_encode_compoundres() 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-clean-up-nfs4svc_encode_compoundres.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 90110d3d90f7d959d33c7ddc340ce940d86bc263 Author: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Sep 12 17:23:19 2022 -0400 NFSD: Clean up nfs4svc_encode_compoundres() [ Upstream commit 9993a66317fc9951322483a9edbfae95a640b210 ] In today's Linux NFS server implementation, the NFS dispatcher initializes each XDR result stream, and the NFSv4 .pc_func and .pc_encode methods all use xdr_stream-based encoding. This keeps rq_res.len automatically updated. There is no longer a need for the WARN_ON_ONCE() check in nfs4svc_encode_compoundres().
