Hi Calum,

Hi Petr,

There are two sets of changes here, for NFS client, and NFS server.

The NFS client changes have already been backported from v6.9 all the way to v5.4.

Here, Chuck is discussing the NFS server changes (and others), which were not backported from v6.9 (actually, a few were, but only to v6.8).

Thanks for info! Now I'll see the patchset "Make nfsd stats visible in network
ns" [1]. kernelnewbies [2] starts with d98416cc2154 ("nfsd: rename
NFSD_NET_* to NFSD_STATS_*"), the others are probably some preparation commits.

See also my note:

	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/2fc3a3fd-7433-45ba-b281-578355dca64c@xxxxxxxxxx/


Anyway, I'll update the patch with NFS server patchset.

Kind regards,
Petr

Subject: Re: [PATCH 6.6.y 00/12] Backport "make svc_stat per-net instead of global"

Hi Chuck,

Following up on:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/d4b235df-4ee5-4824-9d48-e3b3c1f1f4d1@xxxxxxxxxx/

Here is a backport series targeting origin/linux-6.6.y that closes
the information leak described in the above thread. It passes basic
NFSD regression testing.


Thank you for handling this! The link above mentions that it was already
backported to 5.4 and indeed I see at least d47151b79e322 ("nfs: expose
/proc/net/sunrpc/nfs in net namespaces") is backported in 5.4, 5.10, 5.15, 6.1.
And you're now preparing 6.6. Thus we can expect the behavior changed from
5.4 kernels.

I wonder if we consider this as a fix, thus expect any kernel newer than 5.4
should backport all these 12 patches.

Or, whether we should relax and just check if version is higher than the one
which got it in stable/LTS (e.g. >= 5.4.276 || >= 5.10.217 ...). The question is
also if enterprise distros will take this patchset.

BTW We have in LTP functionality which points as a hint to kernel fixes. But
it's usually a single commit. I might need to list all.

Kind regards,
Petr
