    NFSD: Fix checksum mismatches in the duplicate reply cache · bf51c52a
    Chuck Lever authored
    nfsd_cache_csum() currently assumes that the server's RPC layer has
    been advancing rq_arg.head[0].iov_base as it decodes an incoming
    request, because that's the way it used to work. On entry, it
    expects that buf->head[0].iov_base points to the start of the NFS
    header, and excludes the already-decoded RPC header.
    
    These days however, head[0].iov_base now points to the start of the
    RPC header during all processing. It no longer points at the NFS
    Call header when execution arrives at nfsd_cache_csum().
    
    In a retransmitted RPC the XID and the NFS header are supposed to
    be the same as the original message, but the contents of the
    retransmitted RPC header can be different. For example, for krb5,
    the GSS sequence number will be different between the two. Thus if
    the RPC header is always included in the DRC checksum computation,
    the checksum of the retransmitted message might not match the
    checksum of the original message, even though the NFS part of these
    messages is identical.
    
    The result is that, even if a matching XID is found in the DRC,
    the checksum mismatch causes the server to execute the
    retransmitted RPC transaction again.
