[PATCH 2/2] NFSD: Fix last write offset handling in layoutcommit

From: Sergey Bashirov
Date: Mon Jul 21 2025 - 14:41:43 EST


The data type of loca_last_write_offset is newoffset4 and is switched
on a boolean value, no_newoffset, that indicates if a previous write
occurred or not. If no_newoffset is FALSE, an offset is not given.
This means that client does not try to update the file size. Thus,
server should not try to calculate new file size and check if it fits
into the segment range. See RFC 8881, section 12.5.4.2.

Sometimes the current incorrect logic may cause clients to hang when
trying to sync an inode. If layoutcommit fails, the client marks the
inode as dirty again.
