From: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>

The ALLOCATE operation is used to preallocate space in a file.  I can do
this by using vfs_fallocate() to do the actual preallocation.

ALLOCATE only returns a status indicator, so we don't need to write a
special encode() function.

If I'm reading the code right, this is the case where we try to
fallocate on something other than a regular file?

Actually the vfs code has a note syaing filesystems may allow fallocate
on directories.  Do we?  There's nothing explicit in the spec that I can
see but I don't think it'd make sense.

So how about replacing this by an explicit check for the type before the
fallocate call?

(And also add a note to the spec requiring NFS4ERR_INVAL on anything not
a regular file.)

Otherwise these patches look fine.

Sure thing!  I should probably check that on both client and server side.
