2013-06-18NFSv4: Move the DNS resolver into the NFSv4 moduleTrond Myklebust
The other protocols don't use it, so make it local to NFSv4, and remove the EXPORT. Also ensure that we only compile in cache_lib.o if we're using the legacy DNS resolver. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Cc: Bryan Schumaker <bjschuma@netapp.com>
2013-04-04NFS: Use server-recommended security flavor by default (NFSv3)Chuck Lever
Since commit ec88f28d in 2009, checking if the user-specified flavor is in the server's flavor list has been the source of a few noticeable regressions (now fixed), but there is one that is still vexing. An NFS server can list AUTH_NULL in its flavor list, which suggests a client should try to mount the server with the flavor of the client's choice, but the server will squash all accesses. In some cases, our client fails to mount a server because of this check, when the mount could have proceeded successfully. Skip this check if the user has specified "sec=" on the mount command line. But do consult the server-provided flavor list to choose a security flavor if no sec= option is specified on the mount command. If a server lists Kerberos pseudoflavors before "sys" in its export options, our client now chooses Kerberos over AUTH_UNIX for mount points, when no security flavor is specified by the mount command. This could be surprising to some administrators or users, who would then need to have Kerberos credentials to access the export. Or, a client administrator may not have enabled rpc.gssd. In this case, auth_rpcgss.ko might still be loadable, which is enough for the new logic to choose Kerberos over AUTH_UNIX. But the mount would fail since no GSS context can be created without rpc.gssd running. To retain the use of AUTH_UNIX by default: o The server administrator can ensure that "sys" is listed before Kerberos flavors in its export security options (see exports(5)), o The client administrator can explicitly specify "sec=sys" on its mount command line (see nfs(5)), o The client administrator can use "Sec=sys" in an appropriate section of /etc/nfsmount.conf (see nfsmount.conf(5)), or o The client administrator can blacklist auth_rpcgss.ko.

2013-02-26vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry opJeff Layton
The following set of operations on a NFS client and server will cause server# mkdir a client# cd a server# mv a a.bak client# sleep 30 # (or whatever the dir attrcache timeout is) client# stat . stat: cannot stat `.': Stale NFS file handle Obviously, we should not be getting an ESTALE error back there since the inode still exists on the server. The problem is that the lookup code will call d_revalidate on the dentry that "." refers to, because NFS has FS_REVAL_DOT set. nfs_lookup_revalidate will see that the parent directory has changed and will try to reverify the dentry by redoing a LOOKUP. That of course fails, so the lookup code returns ESTALE. The problem here is that d_revalidate is really a bad fit for this case. What we really want to know at this point is whether the inode is still good or not, but we don't really care what name it goes by or whether the dcache is still valid. Add a new d_op->d_weak_revalidate operation and have complete_walk call that instead of d_revalidate. The intent there is to allow for a "weaker" d_revalidate that just checks to see whether the inode is still good. This is also gives us an opportunity to kill off the FS_REVAL_DOT special casing.

2012-08-16NFS: Fix a regression when loading the NFS v4 modulebjschuma@gmail.com
Some systems have a modprobe.d/nfs.conf file that sets an nfs4 alias pointing to nfs.ko, rather than nfs4.ko. This can prevent the v4 module from loading on mount, since the kernel sees that something named "nfs4" has already been loaded. To work around this, I've renamed the modules to "nfsv2.ko" "nfsv3.ko" and "nfsv4.ko". I also had to move the nfs4_fs_type back to nfs.ko to ensure that `mount -t nfs4` still works.

2012-07-30NFS: Convert v4 into a moduleBryan Schumaker
This patch exports symbols needed by the v4 module. In addition, I also switch over to using IS_ENABLED() to check if CONFIG_NFS_V4 or CONFIG_NFS_V4_MODULE are set. The module (nfs4.ko) will be created in the same directory as nfs.ko and will be automatically loaded the first time you try to mount over NFS v4.

2012-07-30NFS: Split out remaining NFS v4 inode functionsBryan Schumaker
Somehow I missed this in my previous patch series, but these functions are only needed by the v4 code and should be moved to a v4-only file. I wasn't exactly sure where I should put these functions, so I moved them into nfs4super.c where I could make them static.

2012-07-30NFS: Add version registering frameworkBryan Schumaker
This patch adds in the code to track multiple versions of the NFS protocol. I created default structures for v2, v3 and v4 so that each version can continue to work while I convert them into kernel modules. I also removed the const parameter from the rpc_version array so that I can change it at runtime.
