Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 1/2] nfsd: don't provide pre/post-op attrs if fh_getattr fails
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2026 20:15:17 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905001518.1674240-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090340-copier-another-5c3a@gregkh>

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 518f375c15af724cd89a4ec888dea942bb27f77f ]

nfsd calls fh_getattr to get the latest inode attrs for pre/post-op
info. In the event that fh_getattr fails, it resorts to scraping cached
values out of the inode directly.

Since these attributes are optional, we can just skip providing them
altogether when this happens.
