Section 18.42.3 says:
The loca_last_write_offset field specifies the offset of the last byte written by the client previous to the LAYOUTCOMMIT. Note that this value is never equal to the file's size (at most it is one byte less than the file's size) and MUST be less than or equal to NFS4_MAXFILEOFF. Also, loca_last_write_offset MUST overlap the range described by loca_offset and loca_length.
It should say:
The loca_last_write_offset field specifies the offset of the last byte written by the client previous to the LAYOUTCOMMIT. Note that this value is never equal to the file's size (at most it is one byte less than the file's size) and MUST be less than or equal to NFS4_MAXFILEOFF.
Notes:
Errata 5 of 5 to deprecate loca_offset and loca_length arguments to LAYOUTCOMMIT.
