sunrpc: add SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_FLUSH netlink command

2026-06-01T15:08:18+00:00

Add a new SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_FLUSH generic netlink command that allows userspace to flush the sunrpc auth caches (ip_map and unix_gid) without writing to /proc/net/rpc/*/flush. An optional SUNRPC_A_CACHE_FLUSH_MASK u32 attribute selects which caches to flush (bit 1 = ip_map, bit 2 = unix_gid). If the attribute is omitted, all sunrpc caches are flushed. This is used by exportfs to replace its /proc-based cache_flush() with a netlink equivalent, with /proc fallback for older kernels. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

sunrpc: add netlink upcall for the auth.unix.gid cache

2026-06-01T15:08:18+00:00

Add netlink-based cache upcall support for the unix_gid (auth.unix.gid) cache, using the sunrpc generic netlink family. Add unix-gid attribute-set (seqno, uid, gids multi-attr, negative, expiry), unix-gid-reqs wrapper, and unix-gid-get-reqs / unix-gid-set-reqs operations to the sunrpc_cache YAML spec and generated headers. Implement sunrpc_nl_unix_gid_get_reqs_dumpit() which snapshots pending unix_gid cache requests and sends each entry's seqno and uid over netlink. Implement sunrpc_nl_unix_gid_set_reqs_doit() which parses unix_gid cache responses from userspace (uid, expiry, gids as u32 multi-attr or negative flag) and updates the cache via unix_gid_lookup() / sunrpc_cache_update(). Wire up unix_gid_notify() callback in unix_gid_cache_template so cache misses trigger SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_NOTIFY multicast events with SUNRPC_CACHE_TYPE_UNIX_GID.

sunrpc: add netlink upcall for the auth.unix.ip cache

2026-06-01T15:08:18+00:00

Add netlink-based cache upcall support for the ip_map (auth.unix.ip) cache, using the sunrpc generic netlink family. Add ip-map attribute-set (seqno, class, addr, domain, negative, expiry), ip-map-reqs wrapper, and ip-map-get-reqs / ip-map-set-reqs operations to the sunrpc_cache YAML spec and generated headers. Implement sunrpc_nl_ip_map_get_reqs_dumpit() which snapshots pending ip_map cache requests and sends each entry's seqno, class name, and IP address over netlink. Implement sunrpc_nl_ip_map_set_reqs_doit() which parses ip_map cache responses from userspace (class, addr, expiry, and domain name or negative flag) and updates the cache via __ip_map_lookup() / __ip_map_update(). Wire up ip_map_notify() callback in ip_map_cache_template so cache misses trigger SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_NOTIFY multicast events with SUNRPC_CACHE_TYPE_IP_MAP.

sunrpc: add a generic netlink family for cache upcalls

2026-06-01T15:08:18+00:00

The auth.unix.ip and auth.unix.gid caches live in the sunrpc module, so they cannot use the nfsd generic netlink family. Create a new "sunrpc" generic netlink family with its own "exportd" multicast group to support cache upcall notifications for sunrpc-resident caches. Define a YAML spec (sunrpc_cache.yaml) with a cache-type enum (ip_map, unix_gid), a cache-notify multicast event, and the corresponding uapi header. Implement sunrpc_cache_notify() in cache.c, which checks for listeners on the exportd multicast group, builds and sends a SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_NOTIFY message with the cache-type attribute. Register/unregister the sunrpc_nl_family in init_sunrpc() and cleanup_sunrpc(). Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever
