NFSD: TEST_STATEID should not return NFS4ERR_STALE_STATEID
According to RFC 5661, the TEST_STATEID operation is not allowed to return NFS4ERR_STALE_STATEID. In addition, RFC 5661 says: 15.1.16.5. NFS4ERR_STALE_STATEID (Error Code 10023) A stateid generated by an earlier server instance was used. This error is moot in NFSv4.1 because all operations that take a stateid MUST be preceded by the SEQUENCE operation, and the earlier server instance is detected by the session infrastructure that supports SEQUENCE. I triggered NFS4ERR_STALE_STATEID while testing the Linux client's NOGRACE recovery. Bruce suggested an additional test that could be useful to client developers. Lastly, RFC 5661, section 18.48.3 has this: o Special stateids are always considered invalid (they result in the error code NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID). An explicit check is made for those state IDs to avoid printk noise. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
