Subject: [PATCH v1 7/7] sunrpc: assign RQ_LOCAL from the transport on every receive
Date: Sun,  4 Oct 2026 15:40:29 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261004194029.10714-8-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261004194029.10714-1-cel@kernel.org>

Only svc_tcp_recvfrom() assigns RQ_LOCAL. A request that arrives
over UDP or RDMA, or that svc_deferred_recv() replays, leaves the
svc_rqst with the value from the last TCP request its thread
received. When RQ_LOCAL is set, nfsd_vfs_write() sets
PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE, and dirty throttling considers only the backing
device being written. A stale RQ_LOCAL relaxes throttling that way
for a WRITE from a remote client. A stale clear bit withholds the
relaxation from a replayed WRITE that did arrive over loopback, and
NFSD can lock up behind the NFS client's dirty pages.

Assign RQ_LOCAL from XPT_LOCAL in svc_handle_xprt() before the
request is received. A deferred request is replayed on the
transport it arrived on, so struct svc_deferred_req needs no copy
of the flag. Only svc_tcp_accept() sets XPT_LOCAL. After the
change, RQ_LOCAL is clear for every UDP and RDMA request, including
one that arrives over loopback.

Fixes: ef11ce24875a ("SUNRPC: track whether a request is coming from a loop-back interface.")
