linux-toradex.git/fs/nfsd, branch v3.4-rc1

Merge branch 'for-3.4' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux

2012-03-29T21:53:25+00:00

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields:

Highlights:
 - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features,
   moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation.
 - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on
   ext2/3/4.
 - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot
   recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a
   rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility
   for further improvements.
 - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the
   auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x.

Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup.

Thanks to everyone!

There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I
suppose will have to wait for 3.5.  With that done I think we'll finally
turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly
symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).

And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well:

   http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues

though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it
on by default.

nfsd: only register cld pipe notifier when CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is enabled

2012-03-29T12:01:07+00:00

Otherwise, we get a warning or error similar to this when building with
CONFIG_NFSD_V4 disabled:

    ERROR: "nfsd4_cld_block" [fs/nfsd/nfsd.ko] undefined!

Fix this by wrapping the calls to rpc_pipefs_notifier_register and
..._unregister in another function and providing no-op replacements
when CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is disabled.

nfsd4: use auth_unix unconditionally on backchannel

2012-03-28T23:14:36+00:00

This isn't actually correct, but it works with the Linux client, and
agrees with the behavior we used to have before commit 80fc015bdfe.

Later patches will implement the spec-mandated behavior (which is to use
the security parameters explicitly given by the client in create_session
or backchannel_ctl).

nfsd: fix NULL pointer dereference in cld_pipe_downcall

2012-03-28T14:10:24+00:00

If we find that "cup" is NULL in this case, then we obviously don't
want to dereference it. What we really want to print in this case
is the xid that we copied off earlier.

nfsd4: memory corruption in numeric_name_to_id()

2012-03-28T14:10:23+00:00

"id" is type is a uid_t (32 bits) but on 64 bit systems strict_strtoul()
modifies 64 bits of data.  We should use kstrtouint() instead.

nfsd4: allow numeric idmapping

2012-03-26T15:49:48+00:00

Mimic the client side by providing a module parameter that turns off
idmapping in the auth_sys case, for backwards compatibility with NFSv2
and NFSv3.

Unlike in the client case, we don't have any way to negotiate, since the
client can return an error to us if it doesn't like the id that we
return to it in (for example) a getattr call.

However, it has always been possible for servers to return numeric id's,
and as far as we're aware clients have always been able to handle them.

Also, in the auth_sys case clients already need to have numeric id's the
same between client and server.

Therefore we believe it's safe to default this to on; but the module
parameter is available to return to previous behavior if this proves to
be a problem in some unexpected setup.

nfsd: don't allow legacy client tracker init for anything but init_net

2012-03-26T15:49:48+00:00

This code isn't set up for containers, so don't allow it to be
used for anything but init_net.

nfsd: add notifier to handle mount/unmount of rpc_pipefs sb

2012-03-26T15:49:48+00:00

In the event that rpc_pipefs isn't mounted when nfsd starts, we
must register a notifier to handle creating the dentry once it
is mounted, and to remove the dentry on unmount.

nfsd: add the infrastructure to handle the cld upcall

2012-03-26T15:49:48+00:00

...and add a mechanism for switching between the "legacy" tracker and
the new one. The decision is made by looking to see whether the
v4recoverydir exists. If it does, then the legacy client tracker is
used.

If it's not, then the kernel will create a "cld" pipe in rpc_pipefs.
That pipe is used to talk to a daemon for handling the upcall.

Most of the data structures for the new client tracker are handled on a
per-namespace basis, so this upcall should be essentially ready for
containerization. For now however, nfsd just starts it by calling the
initialization and exit functions for init_net.

I'm making the assumption that at some point in the future we'll be able
to determine the net namespace from the nfs4_client. Until then, this
patch hardcodes init_net in those places. I've sprinkled some "FIXME"
comments around that code to attempt to make it clear where we'll need
to fix that up later.

nfsd: add a per-net-namespace struct for nfsd

2012-03-26T15:49:47+00:00

Eventually, we'll need this when nfsd gets containerized fully. For
now, create a struct on a per-net-namespace basis that will just hold
a pointer to the cld_net structure. That struct will hold all of the
per-net data that we need for the cld tracker.

Eventually we can add other pernet objects to struct nfsd_net.
