    NFSD: Fix READDIR buffer overflow · 53b1119a
    Chuck Lever authored
    If a client sends a READDIR count argument that is too small (say,
    zero), then the buffer size calculation in the new init_dirlist
    helper functions results in an underflow, allowing the XDR stream
    functions to write beyond the actual buffer.
    
    This calculation has always been suspect. NFSD has never sanity-
    checked the READDIR count argument, but the old entry encoders
    managed the problem correctly.
    
    With the commits below, entry encoding changed, exposing the
    underflow to the pointer arithmetic in xdr_reserve_space().
    
    Modern NFS clients attempt to retrieve as much data as possible
    for each READDIR request. Also, we have no unit tests that
    exercise the behavior of READDIR at the lower bound of @count
    values. Thus this case was missed during testing.
