SUNRPC handle EKEYEXPIRED in call_refreshresult
Currently, when an RPCSEC_GSS context has expired or is non-existent
and the users (Kerberos) credentials have also expired or are non-existent,
the client receives the -EKEYEXPIRED error and tries to refresh the context
forever. If an application is performing I/O, or other work against the share,
the application hangs, and the user is not prompted to refresh/establish their
credentials. This can result in a denial of service for other users.
Users are expected to manage their Kerberos credential lifetimes to mitigate
this issue.
Move the -EKEYEXPIRED handling into the RPC layer. Try tk_cred_retry number
of times to refresh the gss_context, and then return -EACCES to the application.
