[ Upstream commit 1caf5f61dd8430ae5a0b4538afe4953ce7517cbb ]

The "statp + 1" pointer that is passed to nfsd_cache_update() is
supposed to point to the start of the egress NFS Reply header. In
fact, it does point there for AUTH_SYS and RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 requests.

But both krb5i and krb5p add fields between the RPC header's
accept_stat field and the start of the NFS Reply header. In those
cases, "statp + 1" points at the extra fields instead of the Reply.
The result is that nfsd_cache_update() caches what looks to the
client like garbage.

A connection break can occur for a number of reasons, but the most
common reason when using krb5i/p is a GSS sequence number window
underrun. When an underrun is detected, the server is obliged to
drop the RPC and the connection to force a retransmit with a fresh
GSS sequence number. The client presents the same XID, it hits in
the server's DRC, and the server returns the garbage cache entry.

The "statp + 1" argument has been used since the oldest changeset
in the kernel history repo, so it has been in nfsd_dispatch()
literally since before history began. The problem arose only when
the server-side GSS implementation was added twenty years ago.
