This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled SUNRPC: Ensure call_connect_status() deals correctly with SOFTCONN tasks to the 3.14-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-ensure-call_connect_status-deals-correctly-with-softconn-tasks.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 1fa3e2eb9db07f30a605c66d1a2fdde4b24e74d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve Dickson <steved@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2014 11:23:03 -0400 Subject: SUNRPC: Ensure call_connect_status() deals correctly with SOFTCONN tasks From: Steve Dickson <steved@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1fa3e2eb9db07f30a605c66d1a2fdde4b24e74d5 upstream. Don't schedule an rpc_delay before checking to see if the task is a SOFTCONN because the tk_callback from the delay (__rpc_atrun) clears the task status before the rpc_exit_task can be run.
