6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f67b55b6588bcf9316a1e6e8d529100a5aa3ebe6 ] Commit 64cfca85bacd asserts the only valid return values for nfs2/3_decode_dirent should not include -ENAMETOOLONG, but for a server that sends a filename3 which exceeds MAXNAMELEN in a READDIR response the client's behavior will be to endlessly retry the operation. We could map -ENAMETOOLONG into -EBADCOOKIE, but that would produce truncated listings without any error. The client should return an error for this case to clearly assert that the server implementation must be corrected.
