NFS: Fix RCU dereference of cl_xprt in nfs_compare_super_address

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

The cl_xprt pointer in struct rpc_clnt is marked as __rcu. Accessing it directly in nfs_compare_super_address() is unsafe and triggers Sparse warnings. Fix this by using rcu_dereference() within an RCU read-side critical section to retrieve the transport pointer. This addresses the sparse warning and ensures atomic access to the pointer, as the transport can be updated via transport switching even while the superblock remains active under sb_lock.

NFS: remove redundant __private attribute from nfs_page_class

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

The nfs_page_class tracepoint uses a pointer for the 'req' field marked with the __private attribute. This causes Sparse to complain about dereferencing a private pointer within the trace ring buffer context, specifically during the TP_fast_assign() operation. This fixes a Sparse warning introduced in commit b6ef079fd984 ("nfs: more in-depth tracing of writepage events") by removing the redundant __private attribute from the 'req' field.

NFSv4.2: fix CLONE/COPY attrs in presence of delegated attributes

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

xfstest generic/407 is failing in 2 ways. It detects that after doing a clone the client does not update it's mtime and it's ctime. CLONE always sends a GETATTR operation and then calls nfs_post_op_update_inode() based on the returned attributes. Because of the delegated attributes the client ignores updating the mtime. Then also, when delegated attributes are present, for the change_attr the server replies with the same values as what the client cached before and thus the generic/407 would flag that. Instead, make sure we invalidate the blocks attr. By adding updating delegated attributes in nfs42_copy_dest_done() both COPY and CLONE would update mtime appropriately.

NFS: fix writeback in presence of errors

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

After running xfstest generic/751, in certain conditions, can have a writeback IO stuck while experiencing one of the two patterns. Pattern#1: writeback IO experiences ENOSPC on an offset smaller than the filesize. Example, write offset=0 len=4096 how=unstable OK write offset=8192 len=4096 how=unstable OK write offset=12288 len=4096 how=unstable ENOSPC write offset=4096 len=4096 how=unstable ENOSPC client sends a commit and receives a verifier which is different from the last successful write. It marks pages dirty and writeback retries. But it again send writes unstable and gets into the same pattern, running into the ENOSPC error and sending a commit because writes were sent at unstable. Pattern#2: an unstable write followed by a short write and ENOSPC. write offset=0 len=4096 how=unstable OK write offset=4096 len=4096 how=unstable returns OK but count=100 write offset=4197 len=3996 how=stable returns ENOSPC client send a commit and receives a verifier different from the last unstable write. The same behaviour is retried in a loop. Instead, this patch proposes to identify those conditions and mark requests to be done synchronously instead. Previous solution tried to mark it in the nfs_page, however that's not persistent thus instead mark it in the nfs_open_context. Furthermore, the same problem occurs during localio code path so recognize that IO needs to be done sync in that case as well. Signed-off-by: Olga Kornievskaia Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

Pull dcache busy loop updates from Al Viro: "Fix livelocks in shrink_dcache_tree() If shrink_dcache_tree() finds a dentry in the middle of being killed by another thread, it has to wait until the victim finishes dying, gets detached from the tree and ceases to pin its parent. The way we used to deal with that amounted to busy-wait; unfortunately, it's not just inefficient but can lead to reliably reproducible hard livelocks. Solved by having shrink_dentry_tree() attach a completion to such dentry, with dentry_unlist() calling complete() on all objects attached to it. With a bit of care it can be done without growing struct dentry or adding overhead in normal case" * tag 'pull-dcache-busy-wait' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: get rid of busy-waiting in shrink_dcache_tree() dcache.c: more idiomatic "positives are not allowed" sanity checks struct dentry: make ->d_u anonymous for_each_alias(): helper macro for iterating through dentries of given inode

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. * tag 'nfsd-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux: (83 commits) NFSD: Docs: clean up pnfs server timeout docs nfsd: fix comment typo in nfsxdr nfsd: fix comment typo in nfs3xdr NFSD: convert callback RPC program to per-net namespace NFSD: use per-operation statidx for callback procedures svcrdma: Use contiguous pages for RDMA Read sink buffers SUNRPC: Add svc_rqst_page_release() helper SUNRPC: xdr.h: fix all kernel-doc warnings svcrdma: Factor out WR chain linking into helper svcrdma: Add Write chunk WRs to the RPC's Send WR chain svcrdma: Clean up use of rdma->sc_pd->device svcrdma: Clean up use of rdma->sc_pd->device in Receive paths svcrdma: Add fair queuing for Send Queue access SUNRPC: Optimize rq_respages allocation in svc_alloc_arg SUNRPC: Track consumed rq_pages entries svcrdma: preserve rq_next_page in svc_rdma_save_io_pages SUNRPC: Handle NULL entries in svc_rqst_release_pages SUNRPC: Allocate a separate Reply page array SUNRPC: Tighten bounds checking in svc_rqst_replace_page NFSD: Sign filehandles ...

NFSv4.1: Apply session size limits on clone path

2026-04-13T21:56:09+00:00

nfs4_clone_server() builds a child nfs_server for same-server automounted submounts but never calls nfs4_session_limit_rwsize() or nfs4_session_limit_xasize() after nfs_clone_server(). This means the child mount can end up with rsize/wsize values that exceed the negotiated session channel limits, causing NFS4ERR_REQ_TOO_BIG and EIO on servers that enforce tight max_request_size budgets. Top-level mounts go through nfs4_server_common_setup() which calls these limiters after nfs_probe_server(). Apply the same clamping on the clone path for consistency.
