Doesn't nfsd4_decode_compound() handle more ops by allocating
a separate, larger array to hold them?:

>From http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.30/fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c :

1424        if (argp->opcnt > 100)
1425                goto xdr_error;
1426
1427        if (argp->opcnt > ARRAY_SIZE(argp->iops)) {
1428                argp->ops = kmalloc(argp->opcnt * sizeof(*argp->ops), GFP_KERNEL);
1429                if (!argp->ops) {
1430                        argp->ops = argp->iops;
1431                        dprintk("nfsd: couldn't allocate room for COMPOUND\n");
1432                        goto xdr_error;
1433                }
1434        }

That looks to me like up to 100 ops are allowed.

As an NFS client implementer I wouldn't expect to generate a compound
with anything near 100 ops.  However, I have recently composed a
compound consisting of up to 12 ops (attempting to be efficient in
some NFSv4.0 named attribute code).  And 12 is larger than 8.... so
I'll probably be sad if Linux isn't going to be supporting that many
ops in a compound.

Thanks
