This series backports several upstream fixes to origin/linux-6.6.y in order to address CVE-2024-46701:
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-46701As applied to origin/linux-6.6.y, this series passes fstests and the git regression suite.
Before officially requesting that stable@ merge this series, I'd like to provide an opportunity for community review of the backport patches.
You can also find them them in the "nfsd-6.6.y" branch in

I've heard no objections or other comments. Greg, Sasha, shall we proceed with merging this patch series into v6.6 ?
Um, but not all of these are in a released kernel yet, so we can't take them all yet.
Hi Greg -
The new patches are in v6.14 now. I'm asking stable to take these whenever you are ready. Would that be v6.14-rc1? I can send a reminder if you like.
Also what about 6.12.y and 6.13.y for those commits that will be showing up in 6.14-rc1? We can't have regressions for people moving to those releases from 6.6.y, right?
The upstream commits have Fixes tags. I assumed that your automation will find those and apply them to those kernels -- the upstream versions of these patches I expect will apply cleanly to recent LTS.
