[PATCH 111/145] svcrpc: don't error out on small tcp fragment

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Wed Jul 17 2013 - 19:13:53 EST


3.8.13.5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1f691b07c5dc51b2055834f58c0f351defd97f27 upstream.

Though clients we care about mostly don't do this, it is possible for
rpc requests to be sent in multiple fragments. Here we have a sanity
check to ensure that the final received rpc isn't too small--except that
the number we're actually checking is the length of just the final
fragment, not of the whole rpc. So a perfectly legal rpc that's
unluckily fragmented could cause the server to close the connection
here.
