According to rfc3530, 14.2.9, DESCRIPTION

   If the newname has a length of 0 (zero), or if newname does not obey
   the UTF-8 definition, the error NFS4ERR_INVAL will be returned.

The underlying filesystem will return -ENOENT not -EINVAL.
So, NFSD needs checking it explicitly by-self.

Can you sent the patch of v2?

thanks,
