[PATCH 0/2] nfsd: fix two mount-crossing regressions from the v7.4 merge window
From: orkunsari via B4 Relay
Date: Wed Nov 04 2026 - 06:58:09 EST
Two fixes for code merged for v7.4-rc1; released kernels are not
affected.
Patch 1 fixes the NFSv2/v3 CREATE paths, which pass the dentry returned
by nfsd_cross_mnt() to end_creating() and so unlock the wrong directory
when the target file has something mounted on it.
Patch 2 makes nfsd_cross_mnt() check access to the export being entered
rather than the one being left, and restores the check after ".." in
nfsd_lookup(). SECINFO keeps its previous behaviour and does not return
NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC.
Both were found by AI-assisted code review (Claude Code). The fixes are
build-tested with W=1 only; no reproducer was run.
