The "mon_name" argument of the NSMPROC_MON and NSMPROC_UNMON upcalls is a string that contains the hostname or IP address of the remote peer to be notified when this host has rebooted. The sm-notify command uses this identifier to contact the peer when we reboot, so it must be either a well-qualified DNS hostname or a presentation format IP address string. When the "nsm_use_hostnames" sysctl is set to zero, the kernel's NSM provides a presentation format IP address in the "mon_name" argument. Otherwise, the "caller_name" argument from NLM requests is used, which is usually just the DNS hostname of the peer. To support IPv6 addresses for the mon_name argument, we use the nsm_handle's address eye-catcher, which already contains an appropriate presentation format address string. Using the eye-catcher string obviates the need to use a large buffer on the stack to form the presentation address string for the upcall. This patch also addresses a subtle bug. An NSMPROC_MON request and the subsequent NSMPROC_UNMON request for the same peer are required to use the same value for the "mon_name" argument. Otherwise, rpc.statd's NSMPROC_UNMON processing cannot locate the database entry for that peer and remove it. If the setting of nsm_use_hostnames is changed between the time the kernel sends an NSMPROC_MON request and the time it sends the NSMPROC_UNMON request for the same peer, the "mon_name" argument for these two requests may not be the same. This is because the value of "mon_name" is currently chosen at the moment the call is made based on the setting of nsm_use_hostnames To ensure both requests pass identical contents in the "mon_name" argument, we now select which string to use for the argument in the nsm_monitor() function. A pointer to this string is saved in the nsm_handle so it can be used for a subsequent NSMPROC_UNMON upcall. NB: There are other potential problems, such as how nlm_host_rebooted() might behave if nsm_use_hostnames were changed while hosts are still being monitored. This patch does not attempt to address those problems. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> |
