Subject: [PATCH 06/10] NFSD: Enable return of an updated stable_how to NFS clients
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 17:55:17 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528-nfsd-fixes-v1-6-e78708eff77d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260528-nfsd-fixes-v1-0-e78708eff77d@kernel.org>

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

In a subsequent patch, nfsd_vfs_write() will promote an UNSTABLE
WRITE to be a FILE_SYNC WRITE. This indicates that the client does
not need a subsequent COMMIT operation, saving a round trip and
allowing the client to dispense with cached dirty data as soon as
it receives the server's WRITE response.

This patch refactors nfsd_vfs_write() to return a possibly modified
stable_how value to its callers. No behavior change is expected.
