Neil Brown 496d6c32d4 nfsd: fix spurious EACCESS in reconnect_path()
Thanks to Frank Van Maarseveen for the original problem report: "A
privileged process on an NFS client which drops privileges after using
them to change the current working directory, will experience incorrect
EACCES after an NFS server reboot. This problem can also occur after
memory pressure on the server, particularly when the client side is
quiet for some time."

This occurs because the filehandle points to a directory whose parents
are no longer in the dentry cache, and we're attempting to reconnect the
directory to its parents without adequate permissions to perform lookups
in the parent directories.

We can therefore fix the problem by acquiring the necessary capabilities
before attempting the reconnection.  We do this only in the
no_subtree_check case, since the documented behavior of the
subtree_check export option requires the server to check that the user
has lookup permissions on all parents.

The subtree_check case still has a problem, since reconnect_path()
unnecessarily requires both read and lookup permissions on all parent
directories.  However, a fix in that case would be more delicate, and
use of subtree_check is already discouraged for other reasons.

Rename nfsd_permission() specific MAY_* flags to NFSD_MAY_* to make it
clear, that these are not used outside nfsd, and to avoid name and
number space conflicts with the VFS.

J. Bruce Fields 03550fac06 nfsd: move most of fh_verify to separate function
Move the code that actually parses the filehandle and looks up the
dentry and export to a separate function.  This simplifies the reference
counting a little and moves fh_verify() a little closer to the kernel
ideal of small, minimally-indentended functions.  Clean up a few other
minor style sins along the way.

J. Bruce Fields b663c6fd98 nfsd: fix oops on access from high-numbered ports
This bug was always here, but before my commit 6fa02839bf
("recheck for secure ports in fh_verify"), it could only be triggered by
failure of a kmalloc().  After that commit it could be triggered by a
client making a request from a non-reserved port for access to an export
marked "secure".  (Exports are "secure" by default.)

The result is a struct svc_export with a reference count one too low,
resulting in likely oopses next time the export is accessed.

The reference counting here is not straightforward; a later patch will
clean up fh_verify().

Thanks to Lukas Hejtmanek for the bug report and followup.

Pavel Emelyanov 5216a8e70e Wrap buffers used for rpc debug printks into RPC_IFDEBUG
Sorry for the noise, but here's the v3 of this compilation fix :)

There are some places, which declare the char buf[...] on the stack
to push it later into dprintk(). Since the dprintk sometimes (if the
CONFIG_SYSCTL=n) becomes an empty do { } while (0) stub, these buffers
cause gcc to produce appropriate warnings.

Wrap these buffers with RPC_IFDEBUG macro, as Trond proposed, to
compile them out when not needed.

J. Bruce Fields 6fa02839bf nfsd4: recheck for secure ports in fh_verify
As with commit 7fc90ec93a ("knfsd: nfsd:
call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose(), fix nfsd4 permissions problem")
this is a case where we need to redo a security check in fh_verify()
even though the filehandle already has an associated dentry--if the
filehandle was created by fh_compose() in an earlier operation of the
nfsv4 compound, then we may not have done these checks yet.

Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export
without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single
compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export.

While we're here, fix up some minor style problems and change a printk()
to a dprintk(), to make it harder for random unprivileged users to spam
the logs.

Christoph Hellwig 6e91ea2bb0 exportfs: add fid type
This patchset is a medium scale rewrite of the export operations interface.
The goal is to make the interface less complex, and easier to understand from
the filesystem side, aswell as preparing generic support for exporting of
64bit inode numbers.

This touches all nfs exporting filesystems, and I've done testing on all of
the filesystems I have here locally (xfs, ext2, ext3, reiserfs, jfs)

This patch:

Add a structured fid type so that we don't have to pass an array of u32 values
around everywhere.  It's a union of possible layouts.

As a start there's only the u32 array and the traditional 32bit inode format,
but there will be more in one of my next patchset when I start to document the
various filehandle formats we have in lowlevel filesystems better.

Also add an enum that gives the various filehandle types human- readable
names.

Note: Some people might think the struct containing an anonymous union is
ugly, but I didn't want to pass around a raw union type.

J. Bruce Fields 3ab4d8b121 knfsd: nfsd: set rq_client to ip-address-determined-domain
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.

have the same value at this point.)

J. Bruce Fields 2d3bb25209 knfsd: nfsd: make all exp_finding functions return -errno's on err
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.

NeilBrown b41eeef14d knfsd: avoid Oops if buggy userspace performs confusing filehandle->dentry mapping
When a lookup request arrives, nfsd uses information provided by userspace
(mountd) to find the right filesystem.

It then assumes that the same filehandle type as the incoming filehandle can
be used to create an outgoing filehandle.

However if mountd is buggy, or maybe just being creative, the filesystem may
not support that filesystem type, and the kernel could oops, particularly if
'ex_uuid' is NULL but a FSID_UUID* filehandle type is used.

So add some proper checking that the fsid version/type from the incoming
filehandle is actually supportable, and ignore that information if it isn't
supportable.

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

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.

J.Bruce Fields e0bb89ef03 [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: don't drop silently on upcall deferral
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).

A recent commit (7fc90ec93a) moved the
call to nfsd_setuser out of the 'find a dentry for a filehandle' branch
of fh_verify so that it would always be called.

This had the unfortunately side-effect of moving *after* the call to
decode_fh, so the prober fsuid was not set when nfsd_acceptable was called,
the 'permission' check did the wrong thing.

This patch moves the nfsd_setuser call back where it was, and add as call
in the other branch of the if.

J. Bruce Fields 7fc90ec93a [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose(), fix nfsd4 permissions problem
In the typical v2/v3 case the only new filehandles used as arguments to
operations are filehandles taken directly off the wire, which don't get
dentries until fh_verify() is called.

But in v4 the filehandles that are arguments to operations were often created
by previous operations (putrootfh, lookup, etc.) using fh_compose, which sets
the dentry in the filehandle without calling nfsd_setuser().

This also means that, for example, if filesystem B is mounted on filesystem A,
and filesystem A is exported without root-squashing, then a client can bypass
the rootsquashing on B using a compound that starts at a filehandle in A,
crosses into B using lookups, and then does stuff in B.

NeilBrown 7e4053645a [PATCH] knfsd: ignore ref_fh when crossing a mountpoint
nfsd tries to return to a client the same sort of filehandle as was used by
the client.  This removes some filehandle aliasing issues and means that a
server upgrade followed by a downgrade will not confused clients not restarted
during that time.

However when crossing a mountpoint, the filehandle used for one filesystem
doesn't provide any useful information on what sort of filehandle should be
used on the other, and can provide misleading information.  So if the
reference filehandle is on a different filesystem to the one being generated,
ignore it.

NeilBrown 4c9608b2f2 [PATCH] knfsd: remove noise about filehandle being uptodate
There is a perfectly valid situation where fh_update gets called on an already
uptodate filehandle - in nfsd_create_v3 where a CREATE_UNCHECKED finds an
existing file and wants to just set the size.

We could possible optimise out the call in that case, but the only harm
involved is that fh_update prints a warning, so it is easier to remove the
warning.

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!
