[ Upstream commit 5cca6056f2bae9be14566e0f7f6e351103a6aef3 ]

cast_status folds internal lock-daemon sentinels into NLMv1/v3
wire status codes.  The !CONFIG_LOCKD_V4 variant warns when an
unrecognized status falls into the internal-sentinel range,
gated by be32_to_cpu(status) &gt;= 30000.

nlm__int__drop_reply is defined as cpu_to_be32(30000), so it
sits at the lower edge of that range and trips pr_warn_once
("lockd: unhandled internal status %u").  The status is
returned unchanged so the reply is still dropped, but every
dropped reply on a !CONFIG_LOCKD_V4 build emits a spurious
warning.

Compare against nlm__int__drop_reply directly so the warning
still catches the genuinely unexpected sentinels deadlock,
stale_fh, and failed (30001 through 30003) but excludes the
legitimate dropped-reply marker.

Fixes: d343fce148a4 ("[PATCH] knfsd: Allow lockd to drop replies as appropriate")

<title>lockd: fix TEST handling when not all permissions are available.</title>

<id>0b474240327cebeff08ad429e8ed3cfc6c8ee816</id>
<content type='text'>
The F_GETLK fcntl can work with either read access or write access or
both.  It can query F_RDLCK and F_WRLCK locks in either case.

However lockd currently treats F_GETLK similar to F_SETLK in that read
access is required to query an F_RDLCK lock and write access is required
to query a F_WRLCK lock.

This is wrong and can cause problems - e.g.  when qemu accesses a
read-only (e.g. iso) filesystem image over NFS (though why it queries
if it can get a write lock - I don't know.  But it does, and this works
with local filesystems).

So we need TEST requests to be handled differently.  To do this:

- change nlm_do_fopen() to accept O_RDWR as a mode and in that case
  succeed if either a O_RDONLY or O_WRONLY file can be opened.
- change nlm_lookup_file() to accept a mode argument from caller,
  instead of deducing base on lock time, and pass that on to nlm_do_fopen()
- change nlm4svc_retrieve_args() and nlmsvc_retrieve_args() to detect
  TEST requests and pass O_RDWR as a mode to nlm_lookup_file, passing
  the same mode as before for other requests.  Also set
   lock-&gt;fl.c.flc_file to whichever file is available for TEST requests.
- change nlmsvc_testlock() to also not calculate the mode, but to use
  whatever was stored in lock-&gt;fl.c.flc_file.

This behaviour of lockd - requesting O_WRONLY access to TEST for
exclusive locks - has been present at least since git history began.
However it was hidden until recently because knfsd ignored the access
requested by lockd and required only READ access for all locking
requests (unless the underlying filesystem provided an f_op-&gt;open
function which checked access permissions).

The commit mentioned in Fixes: below changed nfsd_permission() to NOT
override the access request for LOCK requests and this exposed the bug
that we are now fixing.

Note that there is another issue that this patch does not address.
The flock(.., LOCK_EX) call is permitted on a read-only file descriptor.
Linux NFS maps this to NLM locking as whole-file byte-range locks.
nfsd will see this as though it were fcntl( F_SETLK (F_WRLCK)) and will
now require write access, which it might not be able to get.
It is not clear if this is a problem in practice, or what the best
solution might be.  So no attempt is made to address it.

<title>lockd: Prepare share helpers for xdrgen conversion</title>

In order to convert the NLMv4 server-side XDR functions to use
xdrgen, the internal share helpers need to be decoupled from the
NLMv3-specific struct nlm_args. NLMv4 procedures will use
different argument structures once they are converted.

Refactor nlmsvc_share_file() and nlmsvc_unshare_file() to accept
individual arguments (oh, access, mode) instead of the common
struct nlm_args. This allows both protocol versions to call these
helpers without forcing a common argument structure.

While here, add kdoc comments to both functions and fix a comment
typo in the unshare path.

<title>lockd: Relocate svc_version definitions to XDR layer</title>

<content type='text'>
Public RPC server interfaces become cluttered when internal
XDR implementation details leak into them. The procedure count,
maximum XDR buffer size, and per-CPU call counters serve no
purpose outside the code that encodes and decodes NLM protocol
messages. Exposing these values through global headers creates
unnecessary coupling between the RPC dispatch logic and the
XDR layer.

Relocating the svc_version structure definitions confines this
implementation information to the files where XDR encoding and
decoding occur. In svc.c, the buffer size computation now reads
vs_xdrsize from the version structures rather than relying on a
preprocessor constant. This calculation occurs at service
initialization, after the linker has resolved the version
structure definitions. The dispatch function becomes non-static
because both the version structures and the dispatcher reside in
different translation units.

The NLMSVC_XDRSIZE macro is removed from xdr.h because buffer
size is now computed from the union of XDR argument and result
structures, matching the pattern used in other RPC services.
Version 1 and 3 share the same procedure table but maintain
separate counter arrays. Version 4 remains separate due to its
distinct procedure definitions.

Headers placed in include/linux/ form part of the kernel's
internal API and signal to subsystem maintainers that other
parts of the kernel may depend on them. By moving lockd.h
into fs/lockd/, lockd becomes a more self-contained module
whose internal interfaces are clearly distinguished from its
public contract with the rest of the kernel. This relocation
addresses a long-standing XXX comment in the header itself
that acknowledged the file's misplacement. Future changes to
lockd internals can now proceed with confidence that external
consumers are not inadvertently coupled to implementation
details.

share management functions used by the NLM server to implement
NLM_SHARE and NLM_UNSHARE operations. These interfaces are used
exclusively within the lockd subsystem. A git grep search confirms
no external code references them.

Relocating this header from include/linux/lockd/ to fs/lockd/

Future refactoring of the share management implementation thus

The nlm_fopen() function is part of the API between nfsd and lockd.

Currently its return value is an on-the-wire NLM status code. But
that forces NFSD to include NLM wire protocol definitions despite
having no other dependency on the NLM wire protocol.

In addition, a CONFIG_LOCKD_V4 Kconfig symbol appears in the middle
of NFSD source code.

Refactor: Let's not use on-the-wire values as part of a high-level
API between two Linux kernel modules. That's what we have errno for,
right?

And, instead of simply moving the CONFIG_LOCKD_V4 check, we can get
rid of it entirely and let the decision of what actual NLM status
code goes on the wire to be left up to NLM version-specific code.

The use of CONFIG_LOCKD_V4 in combination with a later cast_status()
in the NLMv3 code is difficult to reason about. Instead, replace the
use of nlm_deadlock with an implementation-defined status value that
version-specific code translates appropriately.

The new approach establishes a translation boundary: generic lockd
code returns nlm__int__deadlock when posix_lock_file() yields
-EDEADLK. Version-specific handlers (svc4proc.c for NLMv4,
svcproc.c for NLMv3) translate this internal status to the
appropriate wire protocol value. NLMv4 maps to nlm4_deadlock;
NLMv3 maps to nlm_lck_denied (since NLMv3 lacks a deadlock-specific
status code).

Later this modification will also remove the need to include NLMv4
headers in NLMv3 and generic code.

The nlm_drop_reply status code is internal to the kernel's lockd
implementation and must never appear on the wire. Its previous
location in xdr.h grouped it with legitimate NLM protocol status
codes, obscuring this critical distinction.

Relocate the definition to lockd.h with a comment block for internal
status codes, and rename to nlm__int__drop_reply to make its
internal-only nature explicit. This prepares for adding additional
internal status codes in subsequent patches.

location in xdr.h grouped it with legitimate NLM protocol status
codes, obscuring this critical distinction.

Relocate the definition to lockd.h with a comment block for internal
status codes, and rename to nlm__int__drop_reply to make its
internal-only nature explicit. This prepares for adding additional
internal status codes in subsequent patches.

Clean up: The svcproc.c file handles only NLM v1 and v3 requests.
NLMv4 requests are routed to a separate procedure table in
svc4proc.c, so rqstp-&gt;rq_vers can never be 4 in this context.

Remove the unused vers parameter and the dead "vers != 4" check from
cast_to_nlm(). This eliminates the need for the macro wrapper.
