This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFS: Ensure we set NFS_CONTEXT_RESEND_WRITES when requeuing writes to the 4.1-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: nfs-ensure-we-set-nfs_context_resend_writes-when-requeuing-writes.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From c70701131f7a8edea91fc49d11796d342cff7c62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 19:56:22 -0400 Subject: NFS: Ensure we set NFS_CONTEXT_RESEND_WRITES when requeuing writes From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit c70701131f7a8edea91fc49d11796d342cff7c62 upstream. If a write attempt fails, and the write is queued up for resending to the server, as opposed to being dropped, then we need to set the appropriate flag so that nfs_file_fsync() does the right thing.
