From 8c3ad9cb7343dc5f61b8cf3cdbe1016c5e7c2c8b 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 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.
