commit 31dec2538e45e9fff2007ea1f4c6bae9f78db724 upstream.

Short write in nfsd becomes a full write to the client

If a filesystem being written to via NFS returns a short write count
(as opposed to an error) to nfsd, nfsd treats that as a success for
the entire write, rather than the short count that actually succeeded.

For example, given a 8192 byte write, if the underlying filesystem
only writes 4096 bytes, nfsd will ack back to the nfs client that all
8192 bytes were written.  The nfs client does have retry logic for
short writes, but this is never called as the client is told the
complete write succeeded.

There are probably other ways it could happen, but in my case it
happened with a fuse (filesystem in userspace) filesystem which can
rather easily have a partial write.

Here is a patch to properly return the short write count to the
client.

Rename nfsd_permission() specific MAY_* flags to NFSD_MAY_* to make it
clear, that these are not used outside nfsd, and to avoid name and
number space conflicts with the VFS.

[comment from hch: rename MAY_READ, MAY_WRITE and MAY_EXEC as well]

This removes the BKL from the RPC service creation codepath. The BKL
really isn't adequate for this job since some of this info needs
protection across sleeps.

Also, add some comments to try and clarify how the locking should work
and to make it clear that the BKL isn't necessary as long as there is
adequate locking between tasks when touching the svc_serv fields.

Presumably this is left over from earlier drafts of v4, which listed
TIME_METADATA as writeable.  It's read-only in rfc 3530, and shouldn't
be modifiable anyway.

This header is used only in a few places in fs/nfsd, so there seems to
be little point to having it in include/.  (Thanks to Robert Day for

We have some slabs that the nfs4 server uses to store state objects.
We're currently creating and destroying those slabs whenever the server
is brought up or down.  That seems excessive; may as well just do that
in module initialization and exit.

Also add some minor header cleanup.  (Thanks to Andrew Morton for that
and a compile fix.)
