Re: [PATCH v2] nfsdcld: fix cld pipe read size

["zhangjian (CG)" <zhangjian496@huawei.com>]

Another thinking for that case: is it neccessory to write pipe with all possible xid to wake up all nfsd waiting for nfsdcld ? If nfsdcld is signaled SIGTERM in processing message, nfsdcld may also crash and nfsd wait for it forever too.

The 33 bytes in second message will be ignored. Nfsdcld will then read 1001 bytes in second message, which cause FATAL in cld_messaged_size checking. Nfsd kernel thread will hang for it forever until nfs server restarts.
