When there are no op replies encoded in the compound reply hdr.status still contains the overall status of the compound rpc. This can happen, e.g., when the server returns a NFS4ERR_MINOR_VERS_MISMATCH error. Signed-off-by: Benny Halevy <bhalevy@panasas.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Marten Gajda <marten.gajda@fernuni-hagen.de> states: I tracked the problem down to the function nfs4_do_open_expired. Within this function _nfs4_open_expired is called and may return -NFS4ERR_DELAY. When a further call to _nfs4_open_expired is executed and does not return -NFS4ERR_DELAY the "exception.retry" variable is not reset to 0, causing the loop to iterate again (and as long as err != -NFS4ERR_DELAY, probably forever) Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

There's a bit of a chicken and egg problem when it comes to destroying auth_gss credentials. When we destroy the last instance of a GSSAPI RPC credential, we should send a NULL RPC call with a GSS procedure of RPCSEC_GSS_DESTROY to hint to the server that it can destroy those creds. This isn't happening because we're setting clearing the uptodate bit on the credentials and then setting the operations to the gss_nullops. When we go to do the RPC call, we try to refresh the creds. That fails with -EACCES and the call fails. Fix this by not clearing the UPTODATE bit for the credentials and adding a new crdestroy op for gss_nullops that just tears down the cred without trying to destroy the context. The only difference between this patch and the first one is the removal of some minor formatting deltas.

Hi. I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0" mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were seeing in the file attributes. It turned out that this solution did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out. (With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always appear to be timed out.) In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one error in it. It is assuming that the cache is valid in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo]. The cache should be considered valid only in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo). With this change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally expected. This problem was previously addressed by special casing the attrtimeo == 0 case. However, since the problem is only an off- by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one error and thus, not require the special case.

If the client is not using a delegation, the right thing to do is to return it as soon as possible. This helps reduce the amount of state the server has to track, as well as reducing the potential for conflicts with other clients. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

We really shouldn't be resetting the sequence ids when doing state expiration recovery, since we don't know if the server still remembers our previous state owners. There are servers out there that do attempt to preserve client state even if the lease has expired. Such a server would only release that state if a conflicting OPEN request occurs.

NFSv4 defines a number of state errors which the client does not currently handle. Among those we should worry about are: NFS4ERR_ADMIN_REVOKED - the server's administrator revoked our locks and/or delegations. NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID - the client and server are out of sync, possibly due to a delegation return racing with an OPEN request. NFS4ERR_OPENMODE - the client attempted to do something not sanctioned by the open mode of the stateid. Should normally just occur as a result of a delegation return race.

Now that we're using the flags to indicate state that needs to be recovered, as well as having implemented proper refcounting and spinlocking on the state and open_owners, we can get rid of nfs_client->cl_sem. The only remaining case that was dubious was the file locking, and that case is now covered by the nfsi->rwsem. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

The unlock path is currently failing to take the nfs_client->cl_sem read lock, and hence the recovery path may see locks disappear from underneath it. Also ensure that it takes the nfs_inode->rwsem read lock so that it there is no conflict with delegation recalls. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

When we can update_open_stateid(), we need to be certain that we don't race with a delegation return. While we could do this by grabbing the nfs_client->cl_lock, a dedicated spin lock in the delegation structure will scale better. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

If the admin has specified the "noresvport" option for an NFS mount point, the kernel's NFS client uses an unprivileged source port for the main NFS transport.

The standard default security setting for NFS is AUTH_SYS. An NFS client connects to NFS servers via a privileged source port and a fixed standard destination port (2049). The client sends raw uid and gid numbers to identify users making NFS requests, and the server assumes an appropriate authority on the client has vetted these values because the source port is privileged. On Linux, by default in-kernel RPC services use a privileged port in the range between 650 and 1023 to avoid using source ports of well- known IP services. Using such a small range limits the number of NFS mount points and the number of unique NFS servers to which a client can connect concurrently. An NFS client can use unprivileged source ports to expand the range of source port numbers, allowing more concurrent server connections and more NFS mount points. Servers must explicitly allow NFS connections from unprivileged ports for this to work. In the past, bumping the value of the sunrpc.max_resvport sysctl on the client would permit the NFS client to use unprivileged ports. Bumping this setting also changes the maximum port number used by other in-kernel RPC services, some of which still required a port number less than 1023. This is exacerbated by the way source port numbers are chosen by the Linux RPC client, which starts at the top of the range and works downwards. It means that bumping the maximum means all RPC services requesting a source port will likely get an unprivileged port instead of a privileged one. Changing this setting effects all NFS mount points on a client. A sysadmin could not selectively choose which mount points would use non-privileged ports and which could not. Lastly, this mechanism of expanding the limit on the number of NFS mount points was entirely undocumented. To address the need for the NFS client to use a large range of source ports without interfering with the activity of other in-kernel RPC services, we introduce a new NFS mount option. This option explicitly tells only the NFS client to use a non-privileged source port when communicating with the NFS server for one specific mount point. This new mount option is called "resvport," like the similar NFS mount option on FreeBSD and Mac OS X. A sister patch for nfs-utils will be submitted that documents this new option in nfs(5). The default setting for this new mount option requires the NFS client to use a privileged port, as before. Explicitly specifying the "noresvport" mount option allows the NFS client to use an unprivileged source port for this mount point when connecting to the NFS server port. This mount option is supported only for text-based NFS mounts. [ Sidebar: it is widely known that security mechanisms based on the use of privileged source ports are ineffective. However, the NFS client can combine the use of unprivileged ports with the use of secure authentication mechanisms, such as Kerberos. This allows a large number of connections and mount points while ensuring a useful level of security. Eventually we may change the default setting for this option depending on the security flavor used for the mount. For example, if the mount is using only AUTH_SYS, then the default setting will be "resvport;" if the mount is using a strong security flavor such as krb5, the default setting will be "noresvport." ] Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> [Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com: Fixed a bug whereby nfs4_init_client() was being called with incorrect arguments.] Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Make it possible for the NFSv4 mount set up logic to pass mount option flags down the stack to nfs_create_rpc_client(). This is immediately useful if we want NFS mount options to modulate settings of the underlying RPC transport, but it may be useful at some later point if other parts of the NFSv4 mount initialization logic want to know what the mount options are.

The nfs_create_rpc_client() function sets up an RPC client for an NFS mount point. Add an option that allows it to set up an RPC transport from an unprivileged port. Instead of having nfs_create_rpc_client()'s callers retain local knowledge about how to set up an RPC client, create a couple of flag arguments to control the use of RPC_CLNT_CREATE flags.
