Subject: 32-bit servers and lock requests
Date: Wed, 07 Aug 2002 10:07:18 -0700
Section 14.2.10 (LOCK) of the latest I-D says
Some servers may only support locking for byte offsets that fit
within 32 bits. If the client specifies a range that includes the
last byte offset of the the 32-bit range, but does not include all
of the byte offsets beyond it, up to the end of the valid 64-bit
range, the error NFS4ERR_BAD_RANGE will result.
This wording says that if the client submits any of the following lock
requests, the server must return NFS4ERR_BAD_RANGE.
(offset=0xffffffff, length=1)
(offset=0xfffffffe, length=2)
(offset=0, length=0xffffffff)
Why *must* the server (even a 32-bit server) return an error here?
