SUNRPC: Add enum svc_auth_status

2023-08-29T21:45:22+00:00

In addition to the benefits of using an enum rather than a set of macros, we now have a named type that can improve static type checking of function return values. As part of this change, I removed a stale comment from svcauth.h; the return values from current implementations of the auth_ops::release method are all zero/negative errno, not the SVC_OK enum values as the old comment suggested.

sunrpc: Remove unused extern declarations

2023-08-29T21:45:22+00:00

Since commit 49b28684fdba ("nfsd: Remove deprecated nfsctl system call and related code.") these declarations are unused, so can remove it. Signed-off-by: YueHaibing Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

SUNRPC: Add svc_rqst::rq_auth_stat

2021-08-10T18:18:35+00:00

I'd like to take commit 4532608d71c8 ("SUNRPC: Clean up generic dispatcher code") even further by using only private local SVC dispatchers for all kernel RPC services. This change would enable the removal of the logic that switches between svc_generic_dispatch() and a service's private dispatcher, and simplify the invocation of the service's pc_release method so that humans can visually verify that it is always invoked properly. All that will come later. First, let's provide a better way to return authentication errors from SVC dispatcher functions. Instead of overloading the dispatch method's *statp argument, add a field to struct svc_rqst that can hold an error value. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

sunrpc: remove KERNEL ifdefs

2019-11-12T16:43:29+00:00

Remove the __KERNEL__ ifdefs from the non-UAPI sunrpc headers, as those can't be included from user space programs. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields

SUNRPC: Add lockless lookup of the server's auth domain

2018-10-03T15:32:59+00:00

Avoid taking the global auth_domain_lock in most lookups of the auth domain by adding an RCU protected lookup. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields

sunrpc: Extract target name into svc_cred

2018-08-22T22:32:07+00:00

NFSv4.0 callback needs to know the GSS target name the client used when it established its lease. That information is available from the GSS context created by gssproxy. Make it available in each svc_cred. Note this will also give us access to the real target service principal name (which is typically "nfs", but spec does not require that).

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

vfs: make the string hashes salt the hash

2016-06-11T03:21:46+00:00

We always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we did it late at lookup time. It turns out that we can simplify that lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early instead of late. A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism. Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the NULL pointer as a no-salt. Cc: Vegard Nossum Cc: George Spelvin Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

: Define hash_str() in terms of hashlen_string()

2016-05-28T19:42:50+00:00

Finally, the first use of previous two patches: eliminate the separate ad-hoc string hash functions in the sunrpc code. Now hash_str() is a wrapper around hash_string(), and hash_mem() is likewise a wrapper around full_name_hash(). Note that sunrpc code *does* call hash_mem() with a zero length, which is why the previous patch needed to handle that in full_name_hash(). (Thanks, Bruce, for finding that!) This also eliminates the only caller of hash_long which asks for more than 32 bits of output. The comment about the quality of hashlen_string() and full_name_hash() is jumping the gun by a few patches; they aren't very impressive now, but will be improved greatly later in the series.

nfsd4: fix gss-proxy 4.1 mounts for some AD principals

2015-11-24T18:36:31+00:00

The principal name on a gss cred is used to setup the NFSv4.0 callback, which has to have a client principal name to authenticate to. That code wants the name to be in the form servicetype@hostname. rpc.svcgssd passes down such names (and passes down no principal name at all in the case the principal isn't a service principal). gss-proxy always passes down the principal name, and passes it down in the form servicetype/hostname@REALM. So we've been munging the name gss-proxy passes down into the format the NFSv4.0 callback code expects, or throwing away the name if we can't. Since the introduction of the MACH_CRED enforcement in NFSv4.1, we've also been using the principal name to verify that certain operations are done as the same principal as was used on the original EXCHANGE_ID call. For that application, the original name passed down by gss-proxy is also useful. Lack of that name in some cases was causing some kerberized NFSv4.1 mount failures in an Active Directory environment. This fix only works in the gss-proxy case. The fix for legacy rpc.svcgssd would be more involved, and rpc.svcgssd already has other problems in the AD case.
