    Description

      When the client asks for a stable write but the prerequisite writes are not transferred to NFS gateway, the stableness can't be honored. NFS gateway has to treat the write as unstable write and set the flag to UNSTABLE in the write response.

      One bug was found during test with Ubuntu client when copying one 1KB file. For small files like 1KB file, Ubuntu client does one stable write (with FILE_SYNC flag). However, NFS gateway missed one place where(OpenFileCtx#doSingleWrite) it sends response with the flag NOT updated to UNSTABLE.

      With this bug, the client thinks the write is on disk and thus doesn't send COMMIT anymore. The following test tries to read the data back and of course fails to do so since the data was not synced.
