The vfs_fsync_range() call during write processing got the end of the range off by one. The range is inclusive, not exclusive. The error has nfsd sync more data than requested -- it's correct but unnecessary overhead. The call during commit processing is correct so I copied that pattern in write processing. Maybe a helper would be nice but I kept it trivial. This is untested. I found it while reviewing code for something else entirely.
