* nfs: introduce mount option '-olocal_lock' to make locks localSuresh Jayaraman2010-09-231-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NFS clients since 2.6.12 support flock locks by emulating fcntl byte-range locks. Due to this, some windows applications which seem to use both flock (share mode lock mapped as flock by Samba) and fcntl locks sequentially on the same file, can't lock as they falsely assume the file is already locked. The problem was reported on a setup with windows clients accessing excel files on a Samba exported share which is originally a NFS mount from a NetApp filer. Older NFS clients (< 2.6.12) did not see this problem as flock locks were considered local. To support legacy flock behavior, this patch adds a mount option "-olocal_lock=" which can take the following values: 'none' - Neither flock locks nor POSIX locks are local 'flock' - flock locks are local 'posix' - fcntl/POSIX locks are local 'all' - Both flock locks and POSIX locks are local Testing: - This patch was tested by using -olocal_lock option with different values and the NLM calls were noted from the network packet captured. 'none' - NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl(), flock lock was granted, fcntl was denied 'flock' - no NLM calls for flock(), NLM call was seen for fcntl(), granted 'posix' - NLM call was seen for flock() - granted, no NLM call for fcntl() 'all' - no NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl() - No bugs were seen during NFSv4 locking/unlocking in general and NFSv4 reboot recovery.

* NFS: Fix /proc/mount for legacy binary interfaceBryan Schumaker2010-08-061-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | Add a flag so we know if we mounted the NFS server using the legacy binary interface. If we used the legacy interface, then we should not show the mountd options. Signed-off-by: Bryan Schumaker <bjschuma@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* NFS: add "[no]resvport" mount optionChuck Lever2008-12-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The standard default security setting for NFS is AUTH_SYS. An NFS client connects to NFS servers via a privileged source port and a fixed standard destination port (2049). The client sends raw uid and gid numbers to identify users making NFS requests, and the server assumes an appropriate authority on the client has vetted these values because the source port is privileged. On Linux, by default in-kernel RPC services use a privileged port in the range between 650 and 1023 to avoid using source ports of well- known IP services. Using such a small range limits the number of NFS mount points and the number of unique NFS servers to which a client can connect concurrently. An NFS client can use unprivileged source ports to expand the range of source port numbers, allowing more concurrent server connections and more NFS mount points. Servers must explicitly allow NFS connections from unprivileged ports for this to work. In the past, bumping the value of the sunrpc.max_resvport sysctl on the client would permit the NFS client to use unprivileged ports. Bumping this setting also changes the maximum port number used by other in-kernel RPC services, some of which still required a port number less than 1023. This is exacerbated by the way source port numbers are chosen by the Linux RPC client, which starts at the top of the range and works downwards. It means that bumping the maximum means all RPC services requesting a source port will likely get an unprivileged port instead of a privileged one. Changing this setting effects all NFS mount points on a client. A sysadmin could not selectively choose which mount points would use non-privileged ports and which could not. Lastly, this mechanism of expanding the limit on the number of NFS mount points was entirely undocumented. To address the need for the NFS client to use a large range of source ports without interfering with the activity of other in-kernel RPC services, we introduce a new NFS mount option. This option explicitly tells only the NFS client to use a non-privileged source port when communicating with the NFS server for one specific mount point. This new mount option is called "resvport," like the similar NFS mount option on FreeBSD and Mac OS X. A sister patch for nfs-utils will be submitted that documents this new option in nfs(5). The default setting for this new mount option requires the NFS client to use a privileged port, as before. Explicitly specifying the "noresvport" mount option allows the NFS client to use an unprivileged source port for this mount point when connecting to the NFS server port. This mount option is supported only for text-based NFS mounts. [ Sidebar: it is widely known that security mechanisms based on the use of privileged source ports are ineffective. However, the NFS client can combine the use of unprivileged ports with the use of secure authentication mechanisms, such as Kerberos. This allows a large number of connections and mount points while ensuring a useful level of security. Eventually we may change the default setting for this option depending on the security flavor used for the mount. For example, if the mount is using only AUTH_SYS, then the default setting will be "resvport;" if the mount is using a strong security flavor such as krb5, the default setting will be "noresvport." ] Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> [Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com: Fixed a bug whereby nfs4_init_client() was being called with incorrect arguments.] Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* NFS: Add options for finer control of the lookup cacheTrond Myklebust2008-10-071-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONEG to turn off the caching of negative dentries. In reality what we do is to force nfs_lookup_revalidate() to always discard negative dentries. Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONE for enforcing stricter revalidation of dentries. It forces the revalidate code to always do a lookup instead of just checking the cached mtime of the parent directory. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

* NFS: Add the mount option "nosharecache"Trond Myklebust2007-07-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prior to David Howell's mount changes in 2.6.18, users who mounted different directories which happened to be from the same filesystem on the server would get different super blocks, and hence could choose different mount options. As long as there were no hard linked files that crossed from one subtree to another, this was quite safe. Post the changes, if the two directories are on the same filesystem (have the same 'fsid'), they will share the same super block, and hence the same mount options. Add a flag to allow users to elect not to share the NFS super block with another mount point, even if the fsids are the same. This will allow users to set different mount options for the two different super blocks, as was previously possible. It is still up to the user to ensure that there are no cache coherency issues when doing this, however the default behaviour will be to share super blocks whenever two paths result in the same fsid.

* NFS: Added support to turn off the NFSv3 READDIRPLUS RPC.Steve Dickson2007-04-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | READDIRPLUS can be a performance hindrance when the client is working with large directories. In addition, some servers still have bugs in their implementations (e.g. Tru64 returns wrong values for the fsid). Add a mount flag to enable users to turn it off at mount time following the implementation in Apple's NFS client.

* [PATCH] NFS: Add support for NFSv3 ACLsAndreas Gruenbacher2005-06-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds acl support fo nfs clients via the NFSACL protocol extension, by implementing the getxattr, listxattr, setxattr, and removexattr iops for the system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default attributes. This patch implements a dumb version that uses no caching (and thus adds some overhead). (Another patch in this patchset adds caching as well.)

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+65
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
