Description Jeff Layton 2023-03-17 13:16:57 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2150630 +++

RHEL9.2 picked up the same patches that caused this bug. We'll need to take the eventual fix that I posted upstream this morning:

    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20230317105608.19393-1-jlayton@kernel.org/T/#t

...ideally before 9.2 ships so we don't cause a regression.

Comment 2 Jeff Layton 2023-03-17 13:24:17 UTC
Justification:

A rather nasty memory corruption bug in nfsd's splice read code has been taken into RHEL9.2. If we don't take the fix for this, then anyone running an NFS server with 9.2 kernels could end up crashing when trying to service client read requests.

Comment 23 Zhi Li 2023-04-03 13:05:24 UTC
Sanity testing this issue based on comment#22,
Move status to VERIFIED.
