When the client max_resp_sz is larger than what the server encodes in
its reply, the nfs4_verify_back_channel_attrs() check fails and this
causes nfs4_proc_create_session() to fail, in cases where the client
page size is larger than that of the server and the server does not want
to negotiate upwards.
While this is not a problem with the linux nfs server that will reflect
the proposed value in its reply irrespective of the local page size,
other nfs server implementations may insist on their own max_resp_sz
value, which could be smaller.
Fix this by accepting smaller max_resp_sz values from the server, as
this does not violate the protocol. The server is allowed to decrease
but not increase proposed the size, and as such values smaller than the
client-proposed ones are valid.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
