<id>urn:sha1:0b474240327cebeff08ad429e8ed3cfc6c8ee816</id>
<content type='text'>
The F_GETLK fcntl can work with either read access or write access or
both.  It can query F_RDLCK and F_WRLCK locks in either case.

However lockd currently treats F_GETLK similar to F_SETLK in that read
access is required to query an F_RDLCK lock and write access is required
to query a F_WRLCK lock.

This is wrong and can cause problems - e.g.  when qemu accesses a
read-only (e.g. iso) filesystem image over NFS (though why it queries
if it can get a write lock - I don't know.  But it does, and this works
with local filesystems).

So we need TEST requests to be handled differently.  To do this:

- change nlm_do_fopen() to accept O_RDWR as a mode and in that case
  succeed if either a O_RDONLY or O_WRONLY file can be opened.
- change nlm_lookup_file() to accept a mode argument from caller,
  instead of deducing base on lock time, and pass that on to nlm_do_fopen()
- change nlm4svc_retrieve_args() and nlmsvc_retrieve_args() to detect
  TEST requests and pass O_RDWR as a mode to nlm_lookup_file, passing
  the same mode as before for other requests.  Also set
   lock-&gt;fl.c.flc_file to whichever file is available for TEST requests.
- change nlmsvc_testlock() to also not calculate the mode, but to use
  whatever was stored in lock-&gt;fl.c.flc_file.

This behaviour of lockd - requesting O_WRONLY access to TEST for
exclusive locks - has been present at least since git history began.
However it was hidden until recently because knfsd ignored the access
requested by lockd and required only READ access for all locking
requests (unless the underlying filesystem provided an f_op-&gt;open
function which checked access permissions).

The commit mentioned in Fixes: below changed nfsd_permission() to NOT
override the access request for LOCK requests and this exposed the bug
that we are now fixing.

Note that there is another issue that this patch does not address.
The flock(.., LOCK_EX) call is permitted on a read-only file descriptor.
Linux NFS maps this to NLM locking as whole-file byte-range locks.
nfsd will see this as though it were fcntl( F_SETLK (F_WRLCK)) and will
now require write access, which it might not be able to get.
It is not clear if this is a problem in practice, or what the best
solution might be.  So no attempt is made to address it.

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:

 - filehandle signing to defend against filehandle-guessing attacks
   (Benjamin Coddington)

   The server now appends a SipHash-2-4 MAC to each filehandle when
   the new "sign_fh" export option is enabled. NFSD then verifies
   filehandles received from clients against the expected MAC;
   mismatches return NFS error STALE

 - convert the entire NLMv4 server-side XDR layer from hand-written C to
   xdrgen-generated code, spanning roughly thirty patches (Chuck Lever)

   XDR functions are generally boilerplate code and are easy to get
   wrong. The goals of this conversion are improved memory safety, lower
   maintenance burden, and groundwork for eventual Rust code generation
   for these functions.

 - improve pNFS block/SCSI layout robustness with two related changes
   (Dai Ngo)

   SCSI persistent reservation fencing is now tracked per client and
   per device via an xarray, to avoid both redundant preempt operations
   on devices already fenced and a potential NFSD deadlock when all nfsd
   threads are waiting for a layout return.

 - scalability and infrastructure improvements

   Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug
   reporters who participated in the v7.1 NFSD development cycle.

Clang compiler is not happy about set but unused variables:

.../flexfilelayout/flexfilelayoutdev.c:56:9: error: variable 'ret' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]
.../flexfilelayout/flexfilelayout.c:1505:6: error: variable 'err' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]
.../nfs4proc.c:9244:12: error: variable 'ptr' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Fix these by forwarding parameters of dprintk() to no_printk().
The positive side-effect is a format-string checker enabled even for the cases
when dprintk() is no-op.

<title>lockd: Make linux/lockd/nlm.h an internal header</title>

The NLM protocol constants and status codes in nlm.h are needed
only by lockd's internal implementation. NFS client code and
NFSD interact with lockd through the stable API in bind.h and
have no direct use for protocol-level definitions.

Exposing these definitions globally via bind.h creates unnecessary
coupling between lockd internals and its consumers. Moving nlm.h
from include/linux/lockd/ to fs/lockd/ clarifies the API boundary:
bind.h provides the lockd service interface, while nlm.h remains
available only to code within fs/lockd/ that implements the
protocol.

Headers placed in include/linux/ form part of the kernel's
internal API and signal to subsystem maintainers that other
parts of the kernel may depend on them. By moving lockd.h
into fs/lockd/, lockd becomes a more self-contained module
whose internal interfaces are clearly distinguished from its
public contract with the rest of the kernel. This relocation
addresses a long-standing XXX comment in the header itself
that acknowledged the file's misplacement. Future changes to
lockd internals can now proceed with confidence that external
consumers are not inadvertently coupled to implementation
details.

<title>lockd: Introduce nlm__int__deadlock</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9e0d0c61940796893e0c2200cdc7be0684218238</id>
<content type='text'>
The use of CONFIG_LOCKD_V4 in combination with a later cast_status()
in the NLMv3 code is difficult to reason about. Instead, replace the
use of nlm_deadlock with an implementation-defined status value that
version-specific code translates appropriately.

The new approach establishes a translation boundary: generic lockd
code returns nlm__int__deadlock when posix_lock_file() yields
-EDEADLK. Version-specific handlers (svc4proc.c for NLMv4,
svcproc.c for NLMv3) translate this internal status to the
appropriate wire protocol value. NLMv4 maps to nlm4_deadlock;
NLMv3 maps to nlm_lck_denied (since NLMv3 lacks a deadlock-specific
status code).

Later this modification will also remove the need to include NLMv4
headers in NLMv3 and generic code.

<title>lockd: Relocate and rename nlm_drop_reply</title>

<content type='text'>
The nlm_drop_reply status code is internal to the kernel's lockd
implementation and must never appear on the wire. Its previous
location in xdr.h grouped it with legitimate NLM protocol status
codes, obscuring this critical distinction.

Relocate the definition to lockd.h with a comment block for internal
status codes, and rename to nlm__int__drop_reply to make its
internal-only nature explicit. This prepares for adding additional
internal status codes in subsequent patches.

<title>treewide: change inode-&gt;i_ino from unsigned long to u64</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b2600f81cefcdfcda58d50df7be8fd48ada8ce2</id>
<content type='text'>
On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which
causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several
filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that
exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions
and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems.

Change the type of inode-&gt;i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that
inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of
architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to
%llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable
types.

This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series
handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for
better struct packing on 32-bit.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.
