From 271759afb5a49f1d1e5a3cef5c0fdec867f9bba4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2015 15:03:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nfsd/blocklayout: accept any minlength commit 8c3ad9cb7343dc5f61b8cf3cdbe1016c5e7c2c8b upstream. Recent Linux clients have started to send GETLAYOUT requests with minlength less than blocksize. Servers aren't really allowed to impose this kind of restriction on layouts; see RFC 5661 section 18.43.3 for details. This has been observed to cause indefinite hangs on fsx runs on some clients.
