Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] nfsd: don't offer flexfiles layouts when NFSv3 isn't being served
Date: Fri,  6 Nov 2026 07:37:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106123622.3999119-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110410-chive-obtuse-db0b@gregkh>

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

[ 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.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/c734eeb8-8486-4491-bb4d-b9656cbaffbe@app.fastmail.com/
