Commit 9597c13b forbade opens with O_APPEND|O_DIRECT for NFSv4: nfs: verify open flags before allowing an atomic open Currently, you can open a NFSv4 file with O_APPEND|O_DIRECT, but cannot fcntl(F_SETFL,...) with those flags. This flag combination is explicitly forbidden on NFSv3 opens, and it seems like it should also be on NFSv4. However, you can still open a file with O_DIRECT|O_APPEND if there exists a cached dentry for the file because nfs4_file_open() is used instead of nfs_atomic_open() and the check is bypassed. Add the check in nfs4_file_open() as well.
