Even with this patch applied, cthon basic tests fail immediately for me.  The mkdir to create the test directory fails with EIO.

The wire trace shows that the CREATE operation is malformed: the client sends a length of 8 for the 4-octet mode attribute value at the end of the operation.

This causes the server to skip over the following GETFH operation -- it thinks the client has sent 3 operations, when the client told it to expect 4 in this compound.

Here:

1064         *p++ = cpu_to_be32(bmval_len);
1065         q = p;
1066         /* Skip bitmap entries + attrlen */
1067         p += bmval_len + 1;

You've skipped over the 4-octet attrlen field, but here:

1125         *q++ = htonl(bmval0);
1126         *q++ = htonl(bmval1);
1127         if (bmval_len == 3)
1128                 *q++ = htonl(bmval2);
1129         len = (char *)p - (char *)q;
1130         *q = htonl(len);

have you failed to take the attrlen field into account when computing the length of the attribute values?
