nfsd4_encode_readv() uses xdr->buf->page_len as a starting point for
the nfsd_iter_read() sink buffer -- page_len is going to be offset
by the parts of the COMPOUND that have already been encoded into
xdr->buf->pages.
However, that value must be captured /before/
xdr_reserve_space_vec() advances page_len by the expected size of
the read payload. Otherwise, the whole front part of the first
page of the payload in the reply will be uninitialized.
Mantas hit this because sec=krb5i forces RQ_SPLICE_OK off, which
invokes the readv part of the nfsd4_encode_read() path. Also,
older Linux NFS clients appear to send shorter READ requests
for files smaller than a page, whereas newer clients just send
page-sized requests and let the server send as many bytes as
are in the file.
