This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSD: Fix zero NFSv4 READ results when RQ_SPLICE_OK is not set to the 6.5-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nfsd-fix-zero-nfsv4-read-results-when-rq_splice_ok-i.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.5 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b955bdb23060b2b19008f57526783d60aed3837e Author: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 27 13:16:48 2023 -0400 NFSD: Fix zero NFSv4 READ results when RQ_SPLICE_OK is not set [ Upstream commit 0d32a6bbb8e7bf503855f2990f1ccce0922db87b ] nfsd4_encode_readv() uses xdr->buf->page_len as a starting point for the nfsd_iter_read() sink buffer -- page_len is going to be offset by the parts of the COMPOUND that have already been encoded into xdr->buf->pages. However, that value must be captured /before/ xdr_reserve_space_vec() advances page_len by the expected size of the read payload. Otherwise, the whole front part of the first page of the payload in the reply will be uninitialized. Mantas hit this because sec=krb5i forces RQ_SPLICE_OK off, which invokes the readv part of the nfsd4_encode_read() path. Also, older Linux NFS clients appear to send shorter READ requests for files smaller than a page, whereas newer clients just send page-sized requests and let the server send as many bytes as are in the file.
