SUNRPC: Cache cred of process creating the rpc_client

2019-04-26T20:00:48+00:00

When converting kuids to AUTH_UNIX creds, etc we will want to use the same user namespace as the process that created the rpc client. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

SUNRPC: Add the 'softerr' rpc_client flag

2019-04-25T18:18:14+00:00

Add the 'softerr' rpc client flag that sets the RPC_TASK_TIMEOUT flag on all new rpc tasks that are attached to that rpc client. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

SUNRPC: Introduce rpc_prepare_reply_pages()

2019-02-14T15:04:37+00:00

prepare_reply_buffer() and its NFSv4 equivalents expose the details of the RPC header and the auth slack values to upper layer consumers, creating a layering violation, and duplicating code. Remedy these issues by adding a new RPC client API that hides those details from upper layers in a common helper function. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

sunrpc: Add xprt after nfs4_test_session_trunk()

2019-01-02T17:05:19+00:00

Multipathing: In case of NFSv3, rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() adds the xprt to xprt switch (i.e. xps) if rpc_call_null_helper() returns success. But in case of NFSv4.1, it needs to do EXCHANGEID to verify the path along with check for session trunking. Add the xprt in nfs4_test_session_trunk() only when nfs4_detect_session_trunking() returns success. Also release refcount hold by rpc_clnt_setup_test_and_add_xprt().

NFS/SUNRPC: don't lookup machine credential until rpcauth_bindcred().

2018-12-19T18:52:45+00:00

When NFS creates a machine credential, it is a "generic" credential, not tied to any auth protocol, and is really just a container for the princpal name. This doesn't get linked to a genuine credential until rpcauth_bindcred() is called. The lookup always succeeds, so various places that test if the machine credential is NULL, are pointless. As a step towards getting rid of generic credentials, this patch gets rid of generic machine credentials. The nfs_client and rpc_client just hold a pointer to a constant principal name. When a machine credential is wanted, a special static 'struct rpc_cred' pointer is used. rpcauth_bindcred() recognizes this, finds the principal from the client, and binds the correct credential.

NFSv4 client live hangs after live data migration recovery

2018-07-31T16:53:40+00:00

After a live data migration event at the NFS server, the client may send I/O requests to the wrong server, causing a live hang due to repeated recovery events. On the wire, this will appear as an I/O request failing with NFS4ERR_BADSESSION, followed by successful CREATE_SESSION, repeatedly. NFS4ERR_BADSSESSION is returned because the session ID being used was issued by the other server and is not valid at the old server. The failure is caused by async worker threads having cached the transport (xprt) in the rpc_task structure. After the migration recovery completes, the task is redispatched and the task resends the request to the wrong server based on the old value still present in tk_xprt. The solution is to recompute the tk_xprt field of the rpc_task structure so that the request goes to the correct server.

xprtrdma: "Support" call-only RPCs

2018-04-10T20:06:22+00:00

RPC-over-RDMA version 1 credit accounting relies on there being a response message for every RPC Call. This means that RPC procedures that have no reply will disrupt credit accounting, just in the same way as a retransmit would (since it is sent because no reply has arrived). Deal with the "no reply" case the same way. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

SUNRPC: Remove rpc_protocol()

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
