[PATCH 6.12 577/602] rxrpc: Allow the app to store private data on peer structs

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2026-07-30 15:54:44
Also in: linux-fsdevel, linux-patches, stable

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit f3a123b25429dc03508e3bf598373005220b7203 ]

Provide a way for the application (e.g. the afs filesystem) to store
private data on the rxrpc_peer structs for later retrieval via the call
object.

This will allow afs to store a pointer to the afs_server object on the
rxrpc_peer struct, thereby obviating the need for afs to keep lookup tables
by which it can associate an incoming call with server that transmitted it.
