The XDR specification in RFC 8881 looks like this:
struct device_addr4 {
layouttype4 da_layout_type;
opaque da_addr_body<>;
};
struct GETDEVICEINFO4resok {
device_addr4 gdir_device_addr;
bitmap4 gdir_notification;
};
union GETDEVICEINFO4res switch (nfsstat4 gdir_status) {
case NFS4_OK:
GETDEVICEINFO4resok gdir_resok4;
case NFS4ERR_TOOSMALL:
count4 gdir_mincount;
default:
void;
};
Looking at nfsd4_encode_getdeviceinfo() ....
When the client provides a zero gd_maxcount, then the Linux NFS
server implementation encodes the da_layout_type field and then
skips the da_addr_body field completely, proceeding directly to
encode gdir_notification field.
There does not appear to be an option in the specification to skip
encoding da_addr_body. Moreover, Section 18.40.3 says:
> If the client wants to just update or turn off notifications, it
> MAY send a GETDEVICEINFO operation with gdia_maxcount set to zero.
> In that event, if the device ID is valid, the reply's da_addr_body
> field of the gdir_device_addr field will be of zero length.
Since the layout drivers are responsible for encoding the
da_addr_body field, put this fix inside the ->encode_getdeviceinfo
methods.

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 Restructured Text 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.
