Issue

When performing an NFS read of a small file, files are reported as smaller than they actually are.
Is the RPC bug resulting in corruption from NFS short reads resolved in RHEL?
We run SGI's Enhanced NFS server and are using the tunable nfsd_workaround_nfs3_xdr_readres_corruption to work around a known bug in the NFS client's symbol nfs3_xdr_readres. We wish to turn this workaround off, are RHEL NFS clients vulnerable to the bug?

Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
RHEL as NFS client
