Following test regression found on stable-rc 6.1.
Rpi4 is using NFS mount rootfs and running LTP syscalls testing.
chown02 tests creating testfile2 on NFS mounted and validating
the functionality and found that it was a failure.

This is already been reported by others on lore and fix patch merged
into stable-rc linux-6.4.y [1] and [2].

Reported-by: Linux Kernel Functional Testing <lkft@xxxxxxxxxx>

Odd, it's not a regression in this -rc cycle, so it was missed in the
previous ones somehow?

Test log:
--------
chown02.c:46: TPASS: chown(testfile1, 0, 0) passed
chown02.c:46: TPASS: chown(testfile2, 0, 0) passed

Do we need the following patch into stable-rc linux-6.1.y ?

I see from mailing thread discussion, says that

the above commit is backported to LTS kernels -- 5.10.y,5.15.y and 6.1.y.

What "above commit"?

Sorry, s/above/below/
I copied that from another email thread as it is.


And what commit should be backported?


nfsd: use vfs setgid helper
commit 2d8ae8c417db284f598dffb178cc01e7db0f1821 upstream.


I have tried backporting this on 6.1.y and 5.15.y.

Here are the backports. (note: I would like to have them reviewed)

6.1.y: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230825161603.371792-1-harshit.m.mogalapalli@xxxxxxxxxx/

5.15.y: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230825161901.371818-1-harshit.m.mogalapalli@xxxxxxxxxx/
