NFSD: Fix zero-length NFSv3 WRITEs
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The Linux NFS server currently responds to a zero-length NFSv3 WRITE
request with NFS3ERR_IO. It responds to a zero-length NFSv4 WRITE
with NFS4_OK and count of zero.

RFC 1813 says of the WRITE procedure's @count argument:

count
         The number of bytes of data to be written. If count is
         0, the WRITE will succeed and return a count of 0,
         barring errors due to permissions checking.

RFC 8881 has similar language for NFSv4, though NFSv4 removed the
explicit @count argument because that value is already contained in
the opaque payload array.

The synthetic client pynfs's WRT4 and WRT15 tests do emit zero-
length WRITEs to exercise this spec requirement. Commit fdec611
("nfsd4: zero-length WRITE should succeed") addressed the same
problem there with the same fix.

But interestingly the Linux NFS client does not appear to emit zero-
length WRITEs, instead squelching them. I'm not aware of a test that
can generate such WRITEs for NFSv3, so I wrote a naive C program to
generate a zero-length WRITE and test this fix.
