Hi

on Linux NFSv4.1 server, nfsd4_exchange_id() is used for creating a
new client incarnation or updating a confirmed client incarnation. if
try to update a confirmed incarnation, EXCHGID4_FLAG_CONFIRMED_R
should be set in eir_flags according to section 18.35.3, RFC5661.

but I found EXCHGID4_FLAG_CONFIRMED_R is cleared by "clid->flags =
new->cl_exchange_flags;", which is in nfsd4_set_ex_flags() called by
nfsd4_exchange_id().

so the sematics of RFC5661 is broken? am I correct?

The code that I browse was newly cloned from
git://linux-nfs.org/~bhalevy/linux-pnfs.git.

On a quick glance.... I think you're correct.  Patch welcomed.
