A client can append random data to the end of an NFSv2 or NFSv3 RPC call
without our complaining; we'll just stop parsing at the end of the
expected data and ignore the rest.
Encoded arguments and replies are stored together in an array of pages,
and if a call is too large it could leave inadequate space for the
reply. This is normally OK because NFS RPC's typically have either
short arguments and long replies (like READ) or long arguments and short
replies (like WRITE). But a client that sends an incorrectly long reply
can violate those assumptions. This was observed to cause crashes.
So, insist that the argument not be any longer than we expect.
Also, several operations increment rq_next_page in the decode routine
before checking the argument size, which can leave rq_next_page pointing
well past the end of the page array, causing trouble later in
svc_free_pages.
As followup we may also want to rewrite the encoding routines to check
more carefully that they aren't running off the end of the page array.

The NFSv2/v3 code does not systematically check whether we decode past
the end of the buffer. This generally appears to be harmless, but there
are a few places where we do arithmetic on the pointers involved and
don't account for the possibility that a length could be negative. Add
checks to catch these.

Remove unnecessary allocation
An xdr_buf has a head, a vector of pages, and a tail. Each
RPC request is presented to the NFS server contained in an
xdr_buf.
The RDMA transport would like to supply the NFS server with only
the NFS WRITE payload bytes in the page vector. In some common
cases, that would allow the NFS server to swap those pages right
into the target file's page cache.
Have the transport's RDMA Read logic put XDR pad bytes in the tail
iovec, and not in the pages that hold the data payload.
The NFSv3 WRITE XDR decoder is finicky about the lengths involved,
so make sure it is looking in the correct places when computing
the total length of the incoming NFS WRITE request.

We need information about exports when crossing mountpoints during
lookup or NFSv4 readdir. If we don't already have that information
cached, we may have to ask (and wait for) rpc.mountd.
In both cases we currently hold the i_mutex on the parent of the
directory we're asking rpc.mountd about. We've seen situations where
rpc.mountd performs some operation on that directory that tries to take
the i_mutex again, resulting in deadlock.
With some care, we may be able to avoid that in rpc.mountd. But it
seems better just to avoid holding a mutex while waiting on userspace.
It appears that lookup_one_len is pretty much the only operation that
needs the i_mutex. So we could just drop the i_mutex elsewhere and do
something like
mutex_lock()
lookup_one_len()
mutex_unlock()
In many cases though the lookup would have been cached and not required
the i_mutex, so it's more efficient to create a lookup_one_len() variant
that only takes the i_mutex when necessary.

If vfs_getattr in fill_post_wcc returns an error, we don't
set fh_post_change.
For NFSv4, this can result in set_change_info triggering a BUG_ON.
i.e. fh_post_saved being zero isn't really a bug.
So:
- instead of BUGging when fh_post_saved is zero, just clear ->atomic.
- if vfs_getattr fails in fill_post_wcc, take a copy of i_ctime anyway.
This will be used i seg_change_info, but not overly trusted.
- While we are there, remove the pointless 'if' statements in set_change_info.

ext4 supports a real NFSv4 change attribute, which is bumped whenever
the ctime would be updated, including times when two updates arrive
within a jiffy of each other. (Note that although ext4 has space for
nanosecond-precision ctime, the real resolution is lower: it actually
uses jiffies as the time-source.) This ensures clients will invalidate
their caches when they need to.
There is some fear that keeping the i_version up-to-date could have
performance drawbacks, so for now it's turned on only by a mount option.
We hope to do something better eventually.

As of

Modify the NFS server code to support 64 bit ino's, as
appropriate for the system and the NFS protocol version.
The gist of the changes is to query the underlying file system
for attributes and not just to use the cached attributes in the
inode. For this specific purpose, the inode only contains an
ino field which unsigned long, which is large enough on 64 bit
platforms, but is not large enough on 32 bit platforms.
I haven't been able to find any reason why ->getattr can't be called
while i_mutex. The specification indicates that i_mutex is not
required to be held in order to invoke ->getattr, but it doesn't say
that i_mutex can't be held while invoking ->getattr.
I also haven't come to any conclusions regarding the value of
lease_get_mtime() and whether it should or should not be invoked
by fill_post_wcc() too. I chose not to change this because I
thought that it was safer to leave well enough alone. If we

The NFSv2 and NFSv3 servers do not handle WRITE requests for 0 bytes
correctly. The specifications indicate that the server should accept the
request, but it should mostly turn into a no-op. Currently, the server
will return an XDR decode error, which it should not.
Attached is a patch which addresses this issue. It also adds some boundary
checking to ensure that the request contains as much data as was requested
to be written. It also correctly handles an NFSv3 request which requests
to write more data than the server has stated that it is prepared to
handle. Previously, there was some support which looked like it should

nfsd defines a type 'encode_dent_fn' which is much like 'filldir_t' except
that the first pointer is 'struct readdir_cd *' rather than 'void *'. It
then casts encode_dent_fn points to 'filldir_t' as needed. This hides any
other type mismatches between the two such as the fact that the 'ino' arg
recently changed from ino_t to u64.
So: get rid of 'encode_dent_fn', get rid of the cast of the function type,
change the first arg of various functions from 'struct readdir_cd *' to
'void *', and live with the fact that we have a little less type checking
on the calling of these functions now. Less internal (to nfsd) checking
offset by more external checking, which is more important.

However svc_rqst contains (indirectly) an array of the same type and size

move those arrays out of the separately allocated union and into svc_rqst to

struct svc_rqst contains two such arrays. However the there are never more

The two arrays are for the pages holding the request, and the pages holding

first reply page is.
This patch also removes a number of small inline functions that probably
server to obscure what is going on rather than clarify it, and opencode the
