From efcbc04e16dfa95fef76309f89710dd1d99a5453 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2015 13:00:56 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] NFSv4: don't set SETATTR for O_RDONLY|O_EXCL It is unusual to combine the open flags O_RDONLY and O_EXCL, but it appears that libre-office does just that. [pid 3250] stat("/home/USER/.config", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=8192, ...}) = 0 [pid 3250] open("/home/USER/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/user/extensions/buildid", O_RDONLY|O_EXCL NFSv4 takes O_EXCL as a sign that a setattr command should be sent, probably to reset the timestamps. When it was an O_RDONLY open, the SETATTR command does not identify any actual attributes to change. If no delegation was provided to the open, the SETATTR uses the all-zeros stateid and the request is accepted (at least by the Linux NFS server - no harm, no foul). If a read-delegation was provided, this is used in the SETATTR request, and a Netapp filer will justifiably claim NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID, which the Linux client takes as a sign to retry - indefinitely. So only treat O_EXCL specially if O_CREAT was also given.
