Ok, think I've figured it out.

The computers showing the issue are not using dir_index. This causes ext3 to read a block at a time, which then means we can end up
with buf.full==0 but not finished reading the directory. Before 8d7c4203, we'd always get called again because we never set
nfserr_eof which papered over it.

I think the correct solution is to move nfserr_eof into the loop and remove the buf.full check so that we loop until buf.used==0.
The following seems to do the right thing and reduces the network traffic since we now ensure each buffer is full.

Tested on an empty directory & large directory, eof is properly sent and no short buffers.

diff --git a/fs/nfsd/vfs.c b/fs/nfsd/vfs.c
