This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled SUNRPC: Fix backchannel reply, again to the 6.9-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: sunrpc-fix-backchannel-reply-again.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit eead2c9784c7d6d39f38f64035e3624c95aa0d34 Author: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jun 19 09:51:08 2024 -0400 SUNRPC: Fix backchannel reply, again [ Upstream commit 6ddc9deacc1312762c2edd9de00ce76b00f69f7c ] I still see "RPC: Could not send backchannel reply error: -110" quite often, along with slow-running tests. Debugging shows that the backchannel is still stumbling when it has to queue a callback reply on a busy transport. Note that every one of these timeouts causes a connection loss by virtue of the xprt_conditional_disconnect() call in that arm of call_cb_transmit_status(). I found that setting to_maxval is necessary to get the RPC timeout logic to behave whenever to_exponential is not set.
