2007-07-31knfsd: eliminate unnecessary -ENOENT returns on export downcallsJ. Bruce Fields
A succesful downcall with a negative result (which indicates that the given filesystem is not exported to the given user) should not return an error. Currently mountd is depending on stdio to write these downcalls. With some versions of libc this appears to cause subsequent writes to attempt to write all accumulated data (for which writes previously failed) along with any new data. This can prevent the kernel from seeing responses to later downcalls. Symptoms will be that nfsd fails to respond to certain requests. Signed-off-by: "J.

I converted the various export-returning functions to return -ENOENT instead of NULL, but missed a few cases.

2007-07-17knfsd: nfsd: use ip-address-based domain in secinfo caseJ. Bruce Fields
With this patch, we fall back on using the gss/pseudoflavor only if we fail to find a matching auth_unix export that has a secinfo list. As long as sec= options aren't used, there's still no change in behavior here (except possibly for some additional auth_unix cache lookups, whose results will be ignored).

2007-07-17knfsd: nfsd: set rq_client to ip-address-determined-domainJ. Bruce Fields
We want it to be possible for users to restrict exports both by IP address and by pseudoflavor. The pseudoflavor information has previously been passed using special auth_domains stored in the rq_client field. After the preceding patch that stored the pseudoflavor in rq_pflavor, that's now superfluous; so now we use rq_client for the ip information, as auth_null and auth_unix do. However, we keep around the special auth_domain in the rq_gssclient field for backwards compatibility purposes, so we can still do upcalls using the old "gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain if upcalls using the unix domain to give us an appropriate export. This allows us to continue supporting old mountd. In fact, for this first patch, we always use the "gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain (and only it) if it is available; thus rq_client is ignored in the auth_gss case, and this patch on its own makes no change in behavior; that will be left to later patches. Note on idmap: I'm almost tempted to just replace the auth_domain in the idmap upcall by a dummy value--no version of idmapd has ever used it, and it's unlikely anyone really wants to perform idmapping differently depending on the where the client is (they may want to perform *credential* mapping differently, but that's a different matter--the idmapper just handles id's used in getattr and setattr). But I'm updating the idmapd code anyway, just out of general backwards-compatibility paranoia. Signed-off-by: "J.

Split the callers of exp_get_by_name(), exp_find(), and exp_parent() into those that are processing requests and those that are doing other stuff (like looking up filehandles for mountd). No change in behavior, just a (fairly pointless, on its own) cleanup. (Note this has the effect of making nfsd_cross_mnt() pass rqstp->rq_client instead of exp->ex_client into exp_find_by_name().

2007-07-17knfsd: nfsd: make all exp_finding functions return -errno's on errJ. Bruce Fields
Currently exp_find(), exp_get_by_name(), and friends, return an export on success, and on failure return: errors -EAGAIN (drop this request pending an upcall) or -ETIMEDOUT (an upcall has timed out), or return NULL, which can mean either that there was a memory allocation failure, or that an export was not found, or that a passed-in export lacks an auth_domain. Many callers seem to assume that NULL means that an export was not found, which may lead to bugs in the case of a memory allocation failure. Modify these functions to distinguish between the two NULL cases by returning either -ENOENT or -ENOMEM. They now never return NULL. We get to simplify some code in the process. We return -ENOENT in the case of a missing auth_domain. This case should probably be removed (or converted to a bug) after confirming that it can never happen. Signed-off-by: "J.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

Add support for using a filesystem UUID to identify and export point in the filehandle. For NFSv2, this UUID is xor-ed down to 4 or 8 bytes so that it doesn't take up too much room. For NFSv3+, we use the full 16 bytes, and possibly also a 64bit inode number for exports beneath the root of a filesystem. When generating an fsid to return in 'stat' information, use the UUID (hashed down to size) if it is available and a small 'fsid' was not specifically provided.

2006-12-13[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: don't drop silently on upcall deferralJ.Bruce Fields
To avoid tying up server threads when nfsd makes an upcall (to mountd, to get export options, to idmapd, for nfsv4 name<->id mapping, etc.), we temporarily "drop" the request and save enough information so that we can revisit it later. Certain failures during the deferral process can cause us to really drop the request and never revisit it. This is often less than ideal, and is unacceptable in the NFSv4 case--rfc 3530 forbids the server from dropping a request without also closing the connection. As a first step, we modify the deferral code to return -ETIMEDOUT (which is translated to nfserr_jukebox in the v3 and v4 cases, and remains a drop in the v2 case). Signed-off-by: J.

Current svc_expkey holds a pointer to the svc_export structure, so updates to that structure have to be in-place, which is a wart on the whole cache infrastruct. So we break that linkage and just do a second lookup. If this became a performance issue, it would be possible to put a direct link back in which was only used conditionally. i.e. when an object is replaced in the cache, we set a flag in the old object. When dereferencing the link from svc_expkey, if the flag is set, we drop the reference and do a fresh lookup.

2005-09-07[PATCH] sunrpc: cache_register can use wrong module referenceBruce Allan
When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the sunrpc module. However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules. With the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially with an open reference to the cache from userspace. For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e. /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open). This resulted in a system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs services after reloading the nfsd module. The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct cache_detail. The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
