From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f4b23de3dda1536590787c9e5c3d16b8738ab108 ] It turns out the Linux server has a bug in its implementation of supattr_exclcreat; it returns the set of all attributes, whether or not they are supported by minor version 1. In order to avoid a regression, we therefore apply the supported_attrs as a mask on top of whatever the server sent us.
