Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:08:45 -0400 Subject: nfsd: return better errors to exportfs From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 427d6c6646d868fbd3094e7e2e1644d480cd9204 upstream. Someone noticed exportfs happily accepted exports that would later be rejected when mountd tried to give them to the kernel. Fix this. This is a regression from 4c1e1b34d5c800ad3ac9a7e2805b0bea70ad2278 "nfsd: Store ex_anon_uid and ex_anon_gid as kuids and kgids". Cc: "Eric W.
