Let's be more careful to avoid overrunning the memory that backs the bitmap array. This requires updating the synopsis of nfsd4_decode_fattr(). Bruce points out that a server needs to be careful to return nfs_ok when a client presents bitmap bits the server doesn't support. This includes bits in bitmap words the server might not yet support. The current READ* based implementation is good about that, but that requirement hasn't been documented. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
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.
