Subject: NFS: clean up short packet handling for NFSv3 readdir
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~1082^2^2~52
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=643f81115baca3630e544f6874567648b605efae;p=linux-2.6

NFS: clean up short packet handling for NFSv3 readdir

Currently, the NFS readdir decoders have a workaround for buggy servers
that send an empty readdir response with the EOF bit unset. If the
server sends a malformed response in some cases, this workaround kicks
in and just returns an empty response rather than returning a proper
error to the caller.

This patch does 3 things:

1) have malformed responses with no entries return error (-EIO)

2) preserve existing workaround for servers that send empty
   responses with the EOF marker unset.

3) Add some comments to clarify the logic in nfs3_xdr_readdirres().
