NFSD: COMMIT operations must not return NFS?ERR_INVAL
Since, well, forever, the Linux NFS server's nfsd_commit() function has returned nfserr_inval when the passed-in byte range arguments were non-sensical. However, according to RFC 1813 section 3.3.21, NFSv3 COMMIT requests are permitted to return only the following non-zero status codes: NFS3ERR_IO NFS3ERR_STALE NFS3ERR_BADHANDLE NFS3ERR_SERVERFAULT NFS3ERR_INVAL is not included in that list. Likewise, NFS4ERR_INVAL is not listed in the COMMIT row of Table 6 in RFC 8881. RFC 7530 does permit COMMIT to return NFS4ERR_INVAL, but does not specify when it can or should be used. Instead of dropping or failing a COMMIT request in a byte range that is not supported, turn it into a valid request by treating one or both arguments as zero. Offset zero means start-of-file, count zero means until-end-of-file, so we only ever extend the commit range. NFS servers are always allowed to commit more and sooner than requested. The range check is no longer bounded by NFS_OFFSET_MAX, but rather by the value that is returned in the maxfilesize field of the NFSv3 FSINFO procedure or the NFSv4 maxfilesize file attribute. Note that this change results in a new pynfs failure: CMT4 st_commit.testCommitOverflow : RUNNING CMT4 st_commit.testCommitOverflow : FAILURE COMMIT with offset + count overflow should return NFS4ERR_INVAL, instead got NFS4_OK IMO the test is not correct as written: RFC 8881 does not allow the COMMIT operation to return NFS4ERR_INVAL.
