According to the RFC 7862, "if the server cannot find a
corresponding sa_what, then the status will still be NFS4_OK,
but sr_eof would be TRUE". If there is a file that ends with
a hole and a SEEK request made for sa_what=SEEK_DATA with
an offset in the middle of the last hole, then the server
has to return OK and set the eof. Currently the linux server
returns ERR_NXIO.

Makes sense, but I think you can use the return value from vfs_llseek
instead of checking the file size again. E.g.:
seek->seek_pos = vfs_llseek(nfs->nf_file, seek->seek_offset, whence);
if (seek->seek_pos == -ENXIO)
seek->seek_eof = true;
else if (seek->seek_pos < 0)
status = nfserrno(seek->seek_pos);

I don't believe this is correct. (1) ENXIO doesn't imply eof. If the
specified seek_offset was beyond the end of the file the server must
return ERR_NXIO and not OK. and (2) for the same reason I need to
check if the requested type was looking for data but didn't find it
because the offset is in the middle of the hole but still within the
file size (thus the need to check if the seek_offset is within the
file size). But I'm happy to check specifically if the seek_pos was
ENXIO (and not the generic negative error) and then also check if
request was for data and request was within file size.
Also while I'm fixing this and have your attention, Can you tell if
the "else if" condition in the original code makes sense to you. I
didn't touch it but I don't think it's correct. "else if
(seek->seek_pos >= i_size_read(file_inode(nf->nf_file)))" I don't
believe this can ever happen. How can vfs_llseek() ever return a
position that is greater than the size of the file (or actually even
equal to it)?

I discussed this on [email protected] some time ago.
The problem with "fixing" the server is that it breaks
the unpatched Linux client.
If the client is careful, it can work correctly for both a Linux
and RFC5661 conformant server. That's what the FreeBSD
client tries to do.
--> I'd suggest that be your main goal.
The FreeBSD server ships "Linux compatible", but there is
a switch to make it RFC5661 compatible.
--> I wouldn't make it default the RFC compatible for
quite a while after the client that handles RFC compatible
ships.
I tried to convince folks to "errata" the RFC to Linux
compatible (since Linux was the only shipping 4.2 at
the time, but they did not consider it an "errata").
Just mho, rick

Yea, it would be nice to resolve this. I remember having to tweak Ganesha's
implementation to not break the Linux client.
I'm still not sure I got it right...

Bruce and I discussed this privately a few days back. He asked
that I not merge it until the client compatibility issue is
resolved. Bruce, please chime in if I misunderstood you.

Honestly, I haven't even looked at what the issue is. I think Olga
agreed with Rick that there was one, though?

I agree that the client is broken. I have a client side patch that was
posted alongside the server side patch. I think Trond should be taking
it for whatever the next push will be. But yes the server side needs
to worry about the existing broken clients that are out there
currently. I'm not sure what the implications are. So what happens
with the fixed server is that for the request for DATA in the last
hole, the server would return OK, eof and offset that max_int (-1)
(previously it would be an error). Broken client would return that
address back in the system call. If the application tries to read from
it, it would not get anything (0, oef).
I think I'll repost the v2 and then I'll let you decide when and how
you want to take it. The client will soon be able to handle both but
it doesn't require the server to be fixed.

OK. I don't particularly want to create a situation where a server
upgrade requires a client upgrade, so I don't think we'd want to take it
now, but post it anyway, for posterity's sake--maybe the tradeoffs would
be different in a few years.
