2006-09-22NFSv4: rpc_mkpipe creating socket inodes w/out sk buffersSteve Dickson1-1/+1
This patch stop rpc_mkpipe from create S_IFSOCK nodes what don't have associated sk buffers attached (which causes SELinux to oops during NFSv4 mounts). Instead the S_IFIFO mode bit is set which probably make more sense and seems to work just fine during my connectathon and fsx testing...

2006-09-22SUNRPC: export new RPC client functions with _GPLChuck Lever1-5/+5
This patch is optional. It has been suggested that the RPC client internal functions used by upper layer protocols (such as NFS) be exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. This patch does that. Test plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled as a module. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-09-22SUNRPC: Eliminate xprt_create_proto and rpc_create_clientChuck Lever4-125/+1
The two function call API for creating a new RPC client is now obsolete. Remove it. Also, remove an unnecessary check to see whether the caller is capable of using privileged network services. The kernel RPC client always uses a privileged ephemeral port by default; callers are responsible for checking the authority of users to make use of any RPC service, or for specifying that a nonprivileged port is acceptable. Test plan: Repeated runs of Connectathon locking suite. Check network trace to ensure correctness of NLM requests and replies.

2006-09-22SUNRPC: use sockaddr + size when creating remote transport endpointsChuck Lever2-0/+136
Prepare for more generic transport endpoint handling needed by transports that might use different forms of addressing, such as IPv6. Introduce a single function call to replace the two-call xprt_create_proto/rpc_create_client API. Define a new rpc_create_args structure that allows callers to pass in remote endpoint addresses of varying length. Test-plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled.

2006-09-22SUNRPC: Use "sockaddr_storage" for storing RPC client's remote peer addressChuck Lever3-7/+13
IPv6 addresses are big (128 bytes). Now that no RPC client consumers treat the addr field in rpc_xprt structs as an opaque, and access it only via the API calls, we can safely widen the field in the rpc_xprt struct to accomodate larger addresses.

2006-09-22SUNRPC: Create API for displaying remote peer addressChuck Lever1-0/+13
Provide an API for formatting the remote peer address for printing without exposing its internal structure. The address could be dynamic, so we support a function call to get the address rather than reading it straight out of a structure. Test-plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or that returns an error for some typical operation.

2006-09-22SUNRPC: Make RPC portmapper use per-transport storageChuck Lever3-61/+106
Move connection and bind state that was maintained in the rpc_clnt structure to the rpc_xprt structure. This will allow the creation of a clean API for plugging in different types of bind mechanisms. This brings improvements such as the elimination of a single spin lock to control serialization for all in-kernel RPC binding. A set of per-xprt bitops is used to serialize tasks during RPC binding, just like it now works for making RPC transport connections.

2006-08-24NFS: Check lengths more thoroughly in NFS4 readdir XDR decodeDavid Howells1-0/+11
Check the bounds of length specifiers more thoroughly in the XDR decoding of NFS4 readdir reply data. Currently, if the server returns a bitmap or attr length that causes the current decode point pointer to wrap, this could go undetected (consider a small "negative" length on a 32-bit machine). Also add a check into the main XDR decode handler to make sure that the amount of data is a multiple of four bytes (as specified by RFC-1014). This makes sure that we can do u32* pointer subtraction in the NFS client without risking an undefined result (the result is undefined if the pointers are not correctly aligned with respect to one another).

2006-08-06[PATCH] knfsd: fix race related problem when adding items to and svcrpc auth cacheNeil Brown1-1/+5
If we don't find the item we are lookng for, we allocate a new one, and then grab the lock again and search to see if it has been added while we did the alloc. If it had been added we need to 'cache_put' the newly created item that we are never going to use. But as it hasn't been initialised properly, putting it can cause an oops. So move the ->init call earlier to that it will always be fully initilised if we have to put it. Thanks to Philipp Matthias Hahn <pmhahn@svs.Informatik.Uni-Oldenburg.de> for reporting the problem.

2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: annotate sunrpc codeArjan van de Ven1-4/+4
Add i_mutex ordering annotations to the sunrpc rpc_pipe code. This code has 3 levels of i_mutex hierarchy in some cases: parent dir, client dir and file inside client dir; the i_mutex ordering is I_MUTEX_PARENT -> I_MUTEX_CHILD -> I_MUTEX_NORMAL This patch applies this ordering annotation to the various functions. This is in line with the VFS expected ordering where it is always OK to lock a child after locking a parent; the sunrpc code is very diligent in doing this correctly. Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

Conflicts: fs/nfs/inode.c fs/super.c Fix conflicts between patch 'NFS: Split fs/nfs/inode.c' and patch 'VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount'
2006-06-23[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells1-3/+3
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
