nfs4.2: add UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute support

2026-08-17T16:02:07+00:00

Recognize the NFSv4.2 per-file UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute (attr 87,
draft-ietf-nfsv4-uncacheable-files): decode it via GETATTR, track per-
exported-filesystem support, and record on the inode whether a regular
file's data must not be cached.  Acting on the attribute (opening such
files O_DIRECT) is done by a subsequent change.

If the NFSv4 server reports a regular file's UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA as
true, it indicates the file's data must not be cached; the client records
this in NFS_I(inode)->uncacheable_file_data for use by the I/O paths.

The UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute applies only to regular files
(NF4REG); per the draft a server MUST reject a query of it on any other
object type with NFS4ERR_INVAL.  A subsequent commit gates the client
accordingly.

nfsd: add protocol support for CB_NOTIFY

2026-08-10T13:54:35+00:00

Add the necessary bits to nfs4_1.x and remove the duplicate definitions
from nfs4.h and the uapi nfs4 header. Regenerate the xdr files.

Note that regenerating these files caused conflicts with the definitions
of NFS4_VERIFIER_SIZE and NFS4_FHSIZE in include/uapi/linux/nfs4.h.
These constants are defined by the RFC, and are not part of the kernel
API. They have been removed. Userspace consumers who require those
constants should plan to get them from more authoritative sources.

The nfsstat4 enum defined in the .x is fed to the xdrgen-generated wire
encoder and decoder, which treat every enumerated value as legal on the
wire. Do not carry the NFS4ERR_FIRST_FREE sentinel (which is not a
protocol error code) into the .x; keeping it would make 10097 a value
that could leak onto the wire. Instead base nfsd's internal error codes
(NFSERR_EOF and friends) at an impossible nfsstat4 value, as lockd does
for its nlm__int__* status codes.

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.

NFSv4: Allow FREE_STATEID to clean up delegations

2025-05-28T21:17:13+00:00

The NFS client's list of delegations can grow quite large (well beyond the
delegation watermark) if the server is revoking or there are repeated
events that expire state.  Once this happens, the revoked delegations can
cause a performance problem for subsequent walks of the
servers->delegations list when the client tries to test and free state.

If we can determine that the FREE_STATEID operation has completed without
error, we can prune the delegation from the list.

Since the NFS client combines TEST_STATEID with FREE_STATEID in its minor
version operations, there isn't an easy way to communicate success of
FREE_STATEID.  Rather than re-arrange quite a number of calling paths to
break out the separate procedures, let's signal the success of FREE_STATEID
by setting the stateid's type.

Set NFS4_FREED_STATEID_TYPE for stateids that have been successfully
discarded from the server, and use that type to signal that the delegation
can be cleaned up.

NFS: Add support for fallocate(FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE)

2025-05-28T21:17:13+00:00

This implements a suggestion from Trond that we can mimic
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE by sending a compound that first does a DEALLOCATE
to punch a hole in a file, and then an ALLOCATE to fill the hole with
zeroes. There might technically be a race here, but once the DEALLOCATE
finishes any reads from the region would return zeroes anyway, so I
don't expect it to cause problems.

pNFS/flexfiles: Treat ENETUNREACH errors as fatal in containers

2025-03-21T16:44:24+00:00

Propagate the NFS_MOUNT_NETUNREACH_FATAL flag to work with the pNFS
flexfiles client. In these circumstances, the client needs to treat the
ENETDOWN and ENETUNREACH errors as fatal, and should abandon the
attempted I/O.

lsm,nfs: fix memory leak of lsm_context

2025-02-25T20:07:24+00:00

commit b530104f50e8 ("lsm: lsm_context in security_dentry_init_security")
did not preserve the lsm id for subsequent release calls, which results
in a memory leak. Fix it by saving the lsm id in the nfs4_label and
providing it on the subsequent release call.
