The length of the GSS MIC token need not be a multiple of four bytes.
It is then padded by XDR to a multiple of 4 B, but unwrap_integ_data()
would previously only trim mic.len + 4 B. The remaining up to three
bytes would then trigger a check in nfs4svc_decode_compoundargs(),
leading to a "garbage args" error and mount failure:

nfs4svc_decode_compoundargs: compound not properly padded!
nfsd: failed to decode arguments!

This would prevent older clients using the pre-RFC 4121 MIC format
(37-byte MIC including a 9-byte OID) from mounting exports from v3.9+
servers using krb5i.

The trimming was introduced by commit 4c190e2f913f ("sunrpc: trim off
trailing checksum before returning decrypted or integrity authenticated
buffer").

Clean up.

After "xprtrdma: Remove ro_unmap() from all registration modes",
there are no longer any sites that take rpcrdma_ia::qplock for read.
The one site that takes it for write is always single-threaded. It
is safe to remove it.

In a cluster failover scenario, it is desirable for the client to
attempt to reconnect quickly, as an alternate NFS server is already
waiting to take over for the down server. The client can't see that
a server IP address has moved to a new server until the existing
connection is gone.

For fabrics and devices where it is meaningful, set a definite upper
bound on the amount of time before it is determined that a
connection is no longer valid. This allows the RPC client to detect
connection loss in a timely matter, then perform a fresh resolution
of the server GUID in case it has changed (cluster failover).

<title>xprtrdma: Add ro_unmap_safe memreg method</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=ead3f26e359e12ac8d90baff8ed399b85e82fe5b'/>
<id>ead3f26e359e12ac8d90baff8ed399b85e82fe5b</id>
<content type='text'>
There needs to be a safe method of releasing registered memory
resources when an RPC terminates. Safe can mean a number of things:

+ Doesn't have to sleep

+ Doesn't rely on having a QP in RTS

ro_unmap_safe will be that safe method. It can be used in cases
where synchronous memory invalidation can deadlock, or needs to have
an active QP.

The important case is fencing an RPC's memory regions after it is
signaled (^C) and before it exits. If this is not done, there is a
window where the server can write an RPC reply into memory that the
client has released and re-used for some other purpose.

Note that this is a full solution for FRWR, but FMR and physical
still have some gaps where a particularly bad server can wreak
some havoc on the client. These gaps are not made worse by this
patch and are expected to be exceptionally rare and timing-based.
They are noted in documenting comments.

There needs to be a safe method of releasing registered memory
resources when an RPC terminates. Safe can mean a number of things:

+ Doesn't have to sleep

+ Doesn't rely on having a QP in RTS

ro_unmap_safe will be that safe method. It can be used in cases
where synchronous memory invalidation can deadlock, or needs to have
an active QP.

The important case is fencing an RPC's memory regions after it is
signaled (^C) and before it exits. If this is not done, there is a
window where the server can write an RPC reply into memory that the
client has released and re-used for some other purpose.

Note that this is a full solution for FRWR, but FMR and physical
still have some gaps where a particularly bad server can wreak
some havoc on the client. These gaps are not made worse by this
patch and are expected to be exceptionally rare and timing-based.
They are noted in documenting comments.
