6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5304930dbae82d259bcf7e5611db7c81e7a42eff ] The premise that "Once an svc thread is scheduled and executing an RPC, no other processes will touch svc_rqst::rq_flags" is false. svc_xprt_enqueue() examines the RQ_BUSY flag in scheduled nfsd threads when determining which thread to wake up next. Fixes: 9315564747cb ("NFSD: Use only RQ_DROPME to signal the need to drop a reply") Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c +++ b/fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c @@ -211,7 +211,7 @@ nfsd_proc_read(struct svc_rqst *rqstp) if (resp->status == nfs_ok) resp->status = fh_getattr(&resp->fh, &resp->stat); else if (resp->status == nfserr_jukebox) - __set_bit(RQ_DROPME, &rqstp->rq_flags); + set_bit(RQ_DROPME, &rqstp->rq_flags); return rpc_success; } @@ -246,7 +246,7 @@ nfsd_proc_write(struct svc_rqst *rqstp) if (resp->status == nfs_ok) resp->status = fh_getattr(&resp->fh, &resp->stat); else if (resp->status == nfserr_jukebox) - __set_bit(RQ_DROPME, &rqstp->rq_flags); + set_bit(RQ_DROPME, &rqstp->rq_flags); return rpc_success; }
