This patch regressed clients that support TIME_CREATE attribute.
Starting with this patch client might think that server supports
TIME_CREATE and start sending this attribute in its requests.
However kernel on server side (since this patch and to
current master) upon getting such request will return EINVAL.
(my guess is that TIME_CREATE not being decoded properly and
that messes up request parsing).

End result is unusable mount (unless it's treated as readonly).

Reproduces with current master (HEAD at e5524c2a1fc40) and MacOS
client (Big Sur or newest Monterey).

server is typical setup exporting files from XFS (Fedora36)

 #  rpcdebug -m nfsd -s all

on client:

 % mount -t nfs -o vers=4,rw,nfc,sec=sys testnas:/mnt  ~/test
 % touch ~/test/fff
     touch: test/fff: Invalid argument

server logs:

 nfsd: fh_compose(exp fd:00/128 fff, ino=0)
 NFSD: nfsd4_open filename  op_openowner 0000000000000000

Here is a request the touch generates:

        [...]

when trying to copy file via GUI (Finder) it goes a different route
but ends up with error anyway and with leftover 0-length file on server
with messed up permissions, i.e.

open/create without Time_Create succeeds but followup
setattr with Time_Create fails EINVAL.
