NFSv4 clients won't send legitimate GETATTR requests for these new
attributes because they are intended to be used only with CB_GETATTR
and SETATTR. But NFSD has to do something besides crashing if it
ever sees a GETATTR request that queries these attributes.
RFC 8881 Section 18.7.3 states:
> The server MUST return a value for each attribute that the client
> requests if the attribute is supported by the server for the
> target file system. If the server does not support a particular
> attribute on the target file system, then it MUST NOT return the
> attribute value and MUST NOT set the attribute bit in the result
> bitmap. The server MUST return an error if it supports an
> attribute on the target but cannot obtain its value. In that case,
> no attribute values will be returned.
Further, RFC 9754 Section 5 states:
> These new attributes are invalid to be used with GETATTR, VERIFY,
> and NVERIFY, and they can only be used with CB_GETATTR and SETATTR
> by a client holding an appropriate delegation.
Thus there does not appear to be a specific server response mandated
by specification. Taking the guidance that querying these attributes
via GETATTR is "invalid", NFSD will return nfserr_inval, failing the
request entirely.

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.
