    NFS: clean up short packet handling for NFSv2 readdir · caa02bd5
    Jeff Layton authored
    Currently, the NFS readdir decoders have a workaround for buggy servers
    that send an empty readdir response with the EOF bit unset. If the
    server sends a malformed response in some cases, this workaround kicks
    in and just returns an empty response rather than returning a proper
    error to the caller.
    
    This patch does 3 things:
    
    1) have malformed responses with no entries return error (-EIO)
    
    2) preserve existing workaround for servers that send empty
       responses with the EOF marker unset.
    
    3) Add some comments to clarify the logic in nfs_xdr_readdirres().
