[ Upstream commit 826b67e6376c2a788e3a62c4860dcd79500a27d5 ] We had a bug report that xfstest generic/355 was failing on NFSv4.0. This test sets various combinations of setuid/setgid modes and tests whether DIO writes will cause them to be stripped. What I found was that the server did properly strip those bits, but the client didn't notice because it held a delegation that was not recalled. The recall didn't occur because the client itself was the one generating the activity and we avoid recalls in that case. Clearing setuid bits is an "implicit" activity. The client didn't specifically request that we do that, so we need the server to issue a CB_RECALL, or avoid the situation entirely by not issuing a delegation. The easiest fix here is to simply not give out a delegation if the file is being opened for write, and the mode has the setuid and/or setgid bit set. Note that there is a potential race between the mode and lease being set, so we test for this condition both before and after setting the lease. This patch fixes generic/355, generic/683 and generic/684 for me. (Note that 355 fails only on v4.0, and 683 and 684 require NFSv4.2 to run and fail).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
