NeilBrown 1cff14b7fc nfsd: ensure SEQUENCE replay sends a valid reply.
nfsd4_enc_sequence_replay() uses nfsd4_encode_operation() to encode a
new SEQUENCE reply when replaying a request from the slot cache - only
ops after the SEQUENCE are replayed from the cache in ->sl_data.

However it does this in nfsd4_replay_cache_entry() which is called
*before* nfsd4_sequence() has filled in reply fields.

This means that in the replayed SEQUENCE reply:
 maxslots will be whatever the client sent
 target_maxslots will be -1 (assuming init to zero, and
      nfsd4_encode_sequence() subtracts 1)
 status_flags will be zero

The incorrect maxslots value, in particular, can cause the client to
think the slot table has been reduced in size so it can discard its
knowledge of current sequence number of the later slots, though the
server has not discarded those slots.  When the client later wants to
use a later slot, it can get NFS4ERR_SEQ_MISORDERED from the server.

This patch moves the setup of the reply into a new helper function and
call it *before* nfsd4_replay_cache_entry() is called.  Only one of the
updated fields was used after this point - maxslots.  So the
nfsd4_sequence struct has been extended to have separate maxslots for
the request and the response.

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.
