Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/3] NFSD: Replace nfsd_write()'s "stable" argument with "iocb_flags"
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 21:29:12 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106022850.3722633-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110437-anatomist-emptier-0eda@gregkh>
From: Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 7f7dde9a45dfd9b3c9f35cb24aff9e45669071cc ]
The current nfsd_write() API is not NFS version-agnostic, as it
relies on callers to pass an NFSv3 stable_how value to determine
the persistence of the requested WRITE. NFSv2 does not use a
stable-how value on the wire, and NFSv4 has its own stable_how4
(though stable_how and stable_how4 happen to share the same
numeric values).
To remove the dependence on NFSv3-specific XDR values from NFSD's
generic VFS APIs, replace nfsd_write()'s stable argument with an
argument that passes a set of IOCB flags instead of an XDR-defined
value.
The NFSv4 WRITE and COPY paths had been borrowing the NFSv3
stable_how constants for their own on-the-wire stable values,
relying on the numeric coincidence noted above. Convert those
sites to the stable_how4 enumerators so the v4 code expresses
its own protocol's values directly, with no change in behavior.
While here, bound-check the decoded NFSv3 WRITE stable value, as
the NFSv4 WRITE decoder already does, and make the nfsd3_writeargs
stable field unsigned to suit.
The larger benefit is one less NFSv4 dependency on nfs3.h.
