sunrpc: rpc_debug and others are defined even if CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG unset

2026-02-09T19:24:19+00:00

The rpc_debug, nfs_debug, nfsd_debug and nlm_debug are exported
even if CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG is not set. This means that the
debug header should also define these to remove the following
sparse warnings:

net/sunrpc/sysctl.c:29:17: warning: symbol 'rpc_debug' was not declared. Should it be static?
net/sunrpc/sysctl.c:32:17: warning: symbol 'nfs_debug' was not declared. Should it be static?
net/sunrpc/sysctl.c:35:17: warning: symbol 'nfsd_debug' was not declared. Should it be static?
net/sunrpc/sysctl.c:38:17: warning: symbol 'nlm_debug' was not declared. Should it be static?

Add RPC language definition of NFSv4 POSIX ACL extension

2026-01-29T14:48:33+00:00

The language definition was extracted from the new
draft-ietf-nfsv4-posix-acls specification. This ensures good
constant and type name alignment between the spec and the Linux
kernel source code, and brings in some basic XDR utilities for
handling NFSv4 POSIX draft ACLs.

xdrgen: Implement pass-through lines in specifications

2026-01-29T14:48:33+00:00

XDR specification files can contain lines prefixed with '%' that
pass through unchanged to generated output. Traditional rpcgen
removes the '%' and emits the remainder verbatim, allowing direct
insertion of C includes, pragma directives, or other language-
specific content into the generated code.

Until now, xdrgen silently discarded these lines during parsing.
This prevented specifications from including necessary headers or
preprocessor directives that might be required for the generated
code to compile correctly.

The grammar now captures pass-through lines instead of ignoring
them. A new AST node type represents pass-through content, and
the AST transformer strips the leading '%' character. Definition
and source generators emit pass-through content in document order,
preserving the original placement within the specification.

This brings xdrgen closer to feature parity with traditional
rpcgen while maintaining the existing document-order processing
model.

Existing generated xdrgen source code has been regenerated.

sunrpc: allow svc_recv() to return -ETIMEDOUT and -EBUSY

2026-01-28T15:15:42+00:00

To dynamically adjust the thread count, nfsd requires some information
about how busy things are.

Change svc_recv() to take a timeout value, and then allow the wait for
work to time out if it's set. If a timeout is not defined, then the
schedule will be set to MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT. If the task waits for the
full timeout, then have it return -ETIMEDOUT to the caller.

If it wakes up, finds that there is more work and that no threads are
available, then attempt to set SP_TASK_STARTING. If wasn't already set,
have the task return -EBUSY to cue to the caller that the service could
use more threads.

sunrpc: split new thread creation into a separate function

svc_new_thread(), as a new exported helper function.

sunrpc: introduce the concept of a minimum number of threads per pool

2026-01-28T15:15:42+00:00

Add a new pool->sp_nrthrmin field to track the minimum number of threads
in a pool. Add min_threads parameters to both svc_set_num_threads() and
svc_set_pool_threads(). If min_threads is non-zero and less than the
max, svc_set_num_threads() will ensure that the number of running
threads is between the min and the max.

If the min is 0 or greater than the max, then it is ignored, and the
maximum number of threads will be started, and never spun down.

For now, the min_threads is always 0, but a later patch will pass the
proper value through from nfsd.

sunrpc: track the max number of requested threads in a pool

2026-01-28T15:15:42+00:00

The kernel currently tracks the number of threads running in a pool in
the "sp_nrthreads" field. In the future, where threads are dynamically
spun up and down, it'll be necessary to keep track of the maximum number
of requested threads separately from the actual number running.

Add a pool->sp_nrthrmax parameter to track this. When userland changes
the number of threads in a pool, update that value accordingly.

sunrpc: split svc_set_num_threads() into two functions

2026-01-28T15:15:42+00:00

svc_set_num_threads() will set the number of running threads for a given
pool. If the pool argument is set to NULL however, it will distribute
the threads among all of the pools evenly.

These divergent codepaths complicate the move to dynamic threading.
Simplify the API by splitting these two cases into different helpers:

Add a new svc_set_pool_threads() function that sets the number of
threads in a single, given pool. Modify svc_set_num_threads() to
distribute the threads evenly between all of the pools and then call
svc_set_pool_threads() for each.

xdrgen: Add enum value validation to generated decoders

2026-01-26T15:10:58+00:00

XDR enum decoders generated by xdrgen do not verify that incoming
values are valid members of the enum. Incoming out-of-range values
from malicious or buggy peers propagate through the system
unchecked.

Add validation logic to generated enum decoders using a switch
statement that explicitly lists valid enumerator values. The
compiler optimizes this to a simple range check when enum values
are dense (contiguous), while correctly rejecting invalid values
for sparse enums with gaps in their value ranges.

The --no-enum-validation option on the source subcommand disables
this validation when not needed.

The minimum and maximum fields in _XdrEnum, which were previously
unused placeholders for a range-based validation approach, have
been removed since the switch-based validation handles both dense
and sparse enums correctly.

Because the new mechanism results in substantive changes to
generated code, existing .x files are regenerated. Unrelated white
space and semicolon changes in the generated code are due to recent
commit 1c873a2fd110 ("xdrgen: Don't generate unnecessary semicolon")
and commit 38c4df91242b ("xdrgen: Address some checkpatch whitespace
complaints").
