Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: don't offer flexfiles layouts when NFSv3 isn't being
 served

The flexfiles layout driver hands out a deviceinfo that names this server
as an NFSv3 DS (flexfilelayout.c hardcodes da->version = 3). With v3
disabled, the client can't talk to the DS: it loops on v3 NULL calls that
the server answers with PROG_MISMATCH, and I/O hangs in D state.

Skip LAYOUT_FLEX_FILES in nfsd4_setup_layout_type() unless v3 is enabled.

[PATCH 6.6.y] nfsd: don't offer flexfiles layouts when NFSv3 isn't being served

[ Upstream commit 5d28b2c920d9d9d3c45b41769342ad785eb372a7 ]

The flexfiles layout driver hands out a deviceinfo that names this server
as an NFSv3 DS (flexfilelayout.c hardcodes da->version = 3). With v3
disabled, the client can't talk to the DS: it loops on v3 NULL calls that
the server answers with PROG_MISMATCH, and I/O hangs in D state.

Skip LAYOUT_FLEX_FILES in nfsd4_setup_layout_type() unless v3 is enabled.
