[PATCH v4 03/22] netfs: Fix missing locking around retry adding new subreqs

David Howells dhowells at redhat.com
Mon Apr 27 08:46:18 PDT 2026


Fix netfs_retry_read_subrequests() and netfs_retry_write_stream() to take
the appropriate lock when adding extra subrequests into
stream->subrequests.

Fixes: e2d46f2ec332 ("netfs: Change the read result collector to only use one work item")
Fixes: 288ace2f57c9 ("netfs: New writeback implementation")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260425125426.3855807-1-dhowells%40redhat.com
