nfs: use memcpy_and_pad in decode_fh

2026-04-22T12:53:23+00:00

Use memcpy_and_pad() instead of memcpy() followed by memset() to simplify decode_fh(). Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

NFS: Merge CONFIG_NFS_V4_1 with CONFIG_NFS_V4

2026-01-30T16:42:21+00:00

Compiling the NFSv4 module without any minorversion support doesn't make much sense, so this patch sets NFS v4.1 as the default, always enabled NFS version allowing us to replace all the CONFIG_NFS_V4_1s scattered throughout the code with CONFIG_NFS_V4. Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

nfsd: don't use sv_nrthreads in connection limiting calculations.

2025-01-06T14:37:36+00:00

The heuristic for limiting the number of incoming connections to nfsd currently uses sv_nrthreads - allowing more connections if more threads were configured. A future patch will allow number of threads to grow dynamically so that there will be no need to configure sv_nrthreads. So we need a different solution for limiting connections. It isn't clear what problem is solved by limiting connections (as mentioned in a code comment) but the most likely problem is a connection storm - many connections that are not doing productive work. These will be closed after about 6 minutes already but it might help to slow down a storm. This patch adds a per-connection flag XPT_PEER_VALID which indicates that the peer has presented a filehandle for which it has some sort of access. i.e the peer is known to be trusted in some way. We now only count connections which have NOT been determined to be valid. There should be relative few of these at any given time. If the number of non-validated peer exceed a limit - currently 64 - we close the oldest non-validated peer to avoid having too many of these useless connections. Note that this patch significantly changes the meaning of the various configuration parameters for "max connections". The next patch will remove all of these.

SUNRPC: Fix integer overflow in decode_rc_list()

2024-10-03T20:19:13+00:00

The math in "rc_list->rcl_nrefcalls * 2 * sizeof(uint32_t)" could have an integer overflow. Add bounds checking on rc_list->rcl_nrefcalls to fix that. Fixes: 4aece6a19cf7 ("nfs41: cb_sequence xdr implementation") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

nfs: fix bitmap decoder to handle a 3rd word

2024-08-22T21:01:10+00:00

It only decodes the first two words at this point. Have it decode the third word as well. Without this, the client doesn't send delegated timestamps in the CB_GETATTR response. With this change we also need to expand the on-stack bitmap in decode_recallany_args to 3 elements, in case the server sends a larger bitmap than expected.

NFSv4.1: Use the nfs_client's rpc timeouts for backchannel

2024-01-04T22:01:01+00:00

For backchannel requests that lookup the appropriate nfs_client, use the state-management rpc_clnt's rpc_timeout parameters for the backchannel's response. When the nfs_client cannot be found, fall back to using the xprt's default timeout parameters.
