NFSD: Fix zero-length NFSv3 WRITEs
The Linux NFS server currently responds to a zero-length NFSv3 WRITE request with NFS3ERR_IO. It responds to a zero-length NFSv4 WRITE with NFS4_OK and count of zero. RFC 1813 says of the WRITE procedure's @count argument: count The number of bytes of data to be written. If count is 0, the WRITE will succeed and return a count of 0, barring errors due to permissions checking. RFC 8881 has similar language for NFSv4, though NFSv4 removed the explicit @count argument because that value is already contained in the opaque payload array. The synthetic client pynfs's WRT4 and WRT15 tests do emit zero- length WRITEs to exercise this spec requirement. Commit fdec6114 ("nfsd4: zero-length WRITE should succeed") addressed the same problem there with the same fix. But interestingly the Linux NFS client does not appear to emit zero- length WRITEs, instead squelching them. I'm not aware of a test that can generate such WRITEs for NFSv3, so I wrote a naive C program to generate a zero-length WRITE and test this fix.
