[PATCH 5.15 012/172] NFS: Fix initialisation of nfs_client cl_flags field

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 14 2022 - 04:59:52 EST


From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 468d126dab45718feeb728319be20bd869a5eaa7 upstream.

For some long forgotten reason, the nfs_client cl_flags field is
initialised in nfs_get_client() instead of being initialised at
allocation time. This quirk was harmless until we moved the call to
nfs_create_rpc_client().

Fixes: dd99e9f98fbf ("NFSv4: Initialise connection to the server in nfs4_alloc_client()")
