Just found this in Linux kernel fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.

if (bmval0 & FATTR4_WORD0_CASE_INSENSITIVE) {
p = xdr_reserve_space(xdr, 4);
if (!p)
goto out_resource;
*p++ = cpu_to_be32(0);
}
if (bmval0 & FATTR4_WORD0_CASE_PRESERVING) {
p = xdr_reserve_space(xdr, 4);
if (!p)
goto out_resource;
*p++ = cpu_to_be32(1);
}

How did this pass code review, ever?
