SUNRPC: Introduce rpc_clone_client_set_auth()

2012-10-01T22:33:33+00:00

An ULP is supposed to be able to replace a GSS rpc_auth object with
another GSS rpc_auth object using rpcauth_create().  However,
rpcauth_create() in 3.5 reliably fails with -EEXIST in this case.
This is because when gss_create() attempts to create the upcall pipes,
sometimes they are already there.  For example if a pipe FS mount
event occurs, or a previous GSS flavor was in use for this rpc_clnt.

It turns out that's not the only problem here.  While working on a
fix for the above problem, we noticed that replacing an rpc_clnt's
rpc_auth is not safe, since dereferencing the cl_auth field is not
protected in any way.

So we're deprecating the ability of rpcauth_create() to switch an
rpc_clnt's security flavor during normal operation.  Instead, let's
add a fresh API that clones an rpc_clnt and gives the clone a new
flavor before it's used.

This makes immediate use of the new __rpc_clone_client() helper.

This can be used in a similar fashion to rpcauth_create() when a
client is hunting for the correct security flavor.  Instead of
replacing an rpc_clnt's security flavor in a loop, the ULP replaces
the whole rpc_clnt.

To fix the -EEXIST problem, any ULP logic that relies on replacing
an rpc_clnt's rpc_auth with rpcauth_create() must be changed to use
this API instead.

SUNRPC: Add API to acquire source address

2012-03-02T20:36:53+00:00

NFSv4.0 clients must send endpoint information for their callback
service to NFSv4.0 servers during their first contact with a server.
Traditionally on Linux, user space provides the callback endpoint IP
address via the "clientaddr=" mount option.

During an NFSv4 migration event, it is possible that an FSID may be
migrated to a destination server that is accessible via a different
source IP address than the source server was.  The client must update
callback endpoint information on the destination server so that it can
maintain leases and allow delegation.

Without a new "clientaddr=" option from user space, however, the
kernel itself must construct an appropriate IP address for the
callback update.  Provide an API in the RPC client for upper layer
RPC consumers to acquire a source address for a remote.

The mechanism used by the mount.nfs command is copied: set up a
connected UDP socket to the designated remote, then scrape the source
address off the socket.  We are careful to select the correct network
namespace when setting up the temporary UDP socket.

SUNRPC: Move clnt->cl_server into struct rpc_xprt

2012-03-02T20:36:41+00:00

When the cl_xprt field is updated, the cl_server field will also have
to change.  Since the contents of cl_server follow the remote endpoint
of cl_xprt, just move that field to the rpc_xprt.

SUNRPC: Use RCU to dereference the rpc_clnt.cl_xprt field

2012-03-02T20:36:38+00:00

A migration event will replace the rpc_xprt used by an rpc_clnt.  To
ensure this can be done safely, all references to cl_xprt must now use
a form of rcu_dereference().

Special care is taken with rpc_peeraddr2str(), which returns a pointer
to memory whose lifetime is the same as the rpc_xprt.

SUNRPC: parametrize rpc_uaddr2sockaddr() by network context

Parametrize rpc_uaddr2sockaddr() by network context and thus force it's callers to pass
in network context instead of using hard-coded "init_net".
