NFSv4.1: Apply session size limits on clone path

2026-05-07T04:14:14+00:00

commit 8c787b286f39c7584440b97b92f87cbe934c13ff upstream. 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.

kernfs: pass struct ns_common instead of const void * for namespace tags

2026-04-09T12:36:52+00:00

kernfs has historically used const void * to pass around namespace tags used for directory-level namespace filtering. The only current user of this is sysfs network namespace tagging where struct net pointers are cast to void *. Replace all const void * namespace parameters with const struct ns_common * throughout the kernfs, sysfs, and kobject namespace layers. This includes the kobj_ns_type_operations callbacks, kobject_namespace(), and all sysfs/kernfs APIs that accept or return namespace tags. Passing struct ns_common is needed because various codepaths require access to the underlying namespace. A struct ns_common can always be converted back to the concrete namespace type (e.g., struct net) via container_of() or to_ns_common() in the reverse direction. This is a preparatory change for switching to ns_id-based directory iteration to prevent a KASLR pointer leak through the current use of raw namespace pointers as hash seeds and comparison keys.

NFS: Fix NFS KConfig typos

2026-02-27T20:42:14+00:00

Two issues were noticed after the NFS v4.0 KConfig changes were merged upstream. First, the text of CONFIG_NFS_V4 should not encourage people to select it if they are unsure. Second, the new CONFIG_NFS_V4_0 option should default to "on" instead of "off" to avoid breaking people's setups if they are using NFS v4.0. Reported-by: Niklas Cassel Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Fixes: 4e0269352534 ("NFS: Add a way to disable NFS v4.0 via KConfig") Fixes: 7537db24806f ("NFS: Merge CONFIG_NFS_V4_1 with CONFIG_NFS_V4") Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

nfs: return EISDIR on nfs3_proc_create if d_alias is a dir

2026-02-23T16:41:38+00:00

If we found an alias through nfs3_do_create/nfs_add_or_obtain /d_splice_alias which happens to be a dir dentry, we don't return any error, and simply forget about this alias, but the original dentry we were adding and passed as parameter remains negative. This later causes an oops on nfs_atomic_open_v23/finish_open since we supply a negative dentry to do_dentry_open. This has been observed running lustre-racer, where dirs and files are created/removed concurrently with the same name and O_EXCL is not used to open files (frequent file redirection). While d_splice_alias typically returns a directory alias or NULL, we explicitly check d_is_dir() to ensure that we don't attempt to perform file operations (like finish_open) on a directory inode, which triggers the observed oops.

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

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: "Neil Brown and Jeff Layton contributed a dynamic thread pool sizing mechanism for NFSD. The sunrpc layer now tracks minimum and maximum thread counts per pool, and NFSD adjusts running thread counts based on workload: idle threads exit after a timeout when the pool exceeds its minimum, and new threads spawn automatically when all threads are busy. Administrators control this behavior via the nfsdctl netlink interface. Rick Macklem, FreeBSD NFS maintainer, generously contributed server- side support for the POSIX ACL extension to NFSv4, as specified in draft-ietf-nfsv4-posix-acls. This extension allows NFSv4 clients to get and set POSIX access and default ACLs using native NFSv4 operations, eliminating the need for sideband protocols. The feature is gated by a Kconfig option since the IETF draft has not yet been ratified. Chuck Lever delivered numerous improvements to the xdrgen tool. Error reporting now covers parsing, AST transformation, and invalid declarations. Generated enum decoders validate incoming values against valid enumerator lists. New features include pass-through line support for embedding C directives in XDR specifications, 16-bit integer types, and program number definitions. Several code generation issues were also addressed. When an administrator revokes NFSv4 state for a filesystem via the unlock_fs interface, ongoing async COPY operations referencing that filesystem are now cancelled, with CB_OFFLOAD callbacks notifying affected clients. The remaining patches in this pull request are clean-ups and minor optimizations.
