--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Michael Eisler <[email-masked]>

Section: 15.1.11.3

Original Text
-------------
The highest_slot argument in a Sequence operation exceeds the replier's enforced
highest_slotid.

Corrected Text
--------------
The highest_slot argument in a Sequence operation exceeds the replier's enforced
highest_slotid. Also, the rsa_target_highest_slotid argument in a CB_RECALL_SLOT
operation exceeds maximum enforced slot ID of the session's fore channel.

Notes
-----
The NFSv4.1 specification permits the client to return NFS4ERR_BAD_HIGH_SLOT in
the event rsa_target_highest_slotid is higher the highest slot ID of the
session's fore channel. Arguably this is an unnecessary complication; the client
can return NFS4_OK to sucvh a CB_RECALL_SLOT operation, and then send a
SEQUENCE operation with an sa_highest_slotid argument that is less than or
equal to rsa_target_highest_slotid. NFSv4.2 should specify this simplification.
