Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Don't loop forever in nfs_do_recoalesce()
Git-commit: d02d81efc7564b4d5446a02e0214a164cf00b1f3
Patch-mainline: v5.18
References: git-fixes

If __nfs_pageio_add_request() fails to add the request, it will return
with either desc->pg_error < 0, or mirror->pg_recoalesce will be set, so
we are guaranteed either to exit the function altogether, or to loop.

However if there is nothing left in mirror->pg_list to coalesce, we must
exit, so make sure that we clear mirror->pg_recoalesce every time we
loop.
