3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: NeilBrown <ne...@suse.com>
commit efcbc04e16dfa95fef76309f89710dd1d99a5453 upstream.
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 <unfinished ...>
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.
