This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSv4: Fix EXCHANGE_ID corrupt verifier issue to the 4.9-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: nfsv4-fix-exchange_id-corrupt-verifier-issue.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From fd40559c8657418385e42f797e0b04bfc0add748 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2017 16:02:47 -0400 Subject: NFSv4: Fix EXCHANGE_ID corrupt verifier issue From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit fd40559c8657418385e42f797e0b04bfc0add748 upstream. The verifier is allocated on the stack, but the EXCHANGE_ID RPC call was changed to be asynchronous by commit 8d89bd70bc939. If we interrrupt the call to rpc_wait_for_completion_task(), we can therefore end up transmitting random stack contents in lieu of the verifier.
