According to commit d3635ff07e8 ("nfsd: fix configuration of supported
minor versions"), it should be possible to use either '4.0' or '4' to
enable or disable minor version 0.

Currently, writing '+4' to /proc/fs/nfsd/versions has no effect unless
no minor versions are enabled.  That leaves rpc.nfsd without an easy
way to re-enable v4.0, since that's what it does when invoked with
'-V 4.0'.

Fixes: d3635ff07e8 ("nfsd: fix configuration of supported minor versions")

This breaks the intention behind that patch, which was to ensure that
+4 must _not_ automatically enable 4.0...

Instead, you use +/-4.0 to enable/disable 4.0, just like you use +/-4.1 
to enable/disable 4.1, +/-4.2 to enable/disable 4.2, etc, etc...

The special value +/-4 exists in order allow you to disable/enable v4
altogether. i.e. '-4' acts as a mask to turn off v4.x for all values of
x. '+4' will enable v4.x for those values of x which have been
explicitly set.

Okay I guess I'm confused by this wording from the commit message in
d3635ff07e8:

    Allow the user to use either '4.0' or '4' to enable or disable minor
    version 0.  Other minor versions are still enabled or disabled using the
    '4.x' format.

Should rpc.nfsd be changed then?  The way it is now, nfssvc_print_vers() will
write '+4' if you run 'rpc.nfsd -V4.0'...

Okay I see that that commit message actually came from Bruce and is
different than the original commit message... but in your original cover
letter (https://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=148780658904187&w=2) you stated
that '+4' should enable 4.0:

"""
2) Allow the user to use either '4.0' or '4' in order to enable or disable
   minor version 0. Other minor versions remain enabled/disabled using the
   '4.x' format.
"""

I thought the point of your patches were to allow the user to enable 4.x
(for x > 0) without enabling 4.0.  My patch doesn't change that.  All it
does is allow '+4' to enable 4.0, which is what both Bruce's commit
message and your cover letter says it should do.

current HEAD:

[root@fedora27_1236568e ~]# echo '-4' >/proc/fs/nfsd/versions
[root@fedora27_1236568e ~]# cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions
-2 +3 -4 -4.0 -4.1 -4.2
[root@fedora27_1236568e ~]# echo '+4.1' >/proc/fs/nfsd/versions
[root@fedora27_1236568e ~]# !cat
cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions
-2 +3 +4 -4.0 +4.1 -4.2
[root@fedora27_1236568e ~]# echo '+4' >/proc/fs/nfsd/versions
[root@fedora27_1236568e ~]# !cat
cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions
-2 +3 +4 -4.0 +4.1 -4.2

with my patch:

[root@fedora27_8686dfcb ~]# echo '-4' >/proc/fs/nfsd/versions 
[root@fedora27_8686dfcb ~]# cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions

[root@fedora27_8686dfcb ~]# echo '+4.1' >/proc/fs/nfsd/versions
[root@fedora27_8686dfcb ~]# !cat
cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions 
-2 +3 +4 -4.0 +4.1 -4.2 <----- 4.0 is still disabled
[root@fedora27_8686dfcb ~]# echo '+4' >/proc/fs/nfsd/versions 
[root@fedora27_8686dfcb ~]# !cat
cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions 
-2 +3 +4 +4.1 -4.2 <----- 4.0 is enabled
