From cb25e7b293ec5cd82bc958a6c89dadeb198504b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chuck Lever Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2018 12:06:04 -0400 Subject: nfsd: Use correct credential for NFSv4.0 callback with GSS I've had trouble when operating a multi-homed Linux NFS server with Kerberos using NFSv4.0. Lately, I've seen my clients reporting this (and then hanging): May 9 11:43:26 manet kernel: NFS: NFSv4 callback contains invalid cred The client-side commit f11b2a1cfbf5 ("nfs4: copy acceptor name from context to nfs_client") appears to be related, but I suspect this problem has been going on for some time before that. RFC 7530 Section 3.3.3 says: > For Kerberos V5, nfs/hostname would be a server principal in the > Kerberos Key Distribution Center database. This is the same > principal the client acquired a GSS-API context for when it issued > the SETCLIENTID operation ... In other words, an NFSv4.0 client expects that the server will use the same GSS principal for callback that the client used to establish its lease. For example, if the client used the service principal "nfs@server.domain" to establish its lease, the server is required to use "nfs@server.domain" when performing NFSv4.0 callback operations. The Linux NFS server currently does not. It uses a common service principal for all callback connections. Sometimes this works as expected, and other times -- for example, when the server is accessible via multiple hostnames -- it won't work at all. This patch scrapes the target name from the client credential, and uses that for the NFSv4.0 callback credential. That should be correct much more often. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Signed-off-by: J.
