Lots of include/linux/nfsd/* headers are only used by
nfsd module. Move them to the source directory

NFSD: Path name length signage in nfsd request argument structures

2008-02-01T21:42:03+00:00

Clean up: For consistency, store the length of path name strings in nfsd
argument structures as unsigned integers.

NFSD: File name length signage in nfsd request argument structures

2008-02-01T21:42:02+00:00

Clean up: For consistency, store the length of file name strings in nfsd
argument structures as unsigned integers.  This matches the XDR routines
and client argument structures for the same operation types.

[PATCH] knfsd: Fix type mismatch with filldir_t used by nfsd

2007-01-26T21:51:00+00:00

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.

Thanks to Gabriel Paubert  for discovering this and
providing an initial patch.

[PATCH] knfsd: Avoid excess stack usage in svc_tcp_recvfrom

2006-10-04T14:55:15+00:00

..  by allocating the array of 'kvec' in 'struct svc_rqst'.

As we plan to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from 8 upto 256, we can no longer
allocate an array of this size on the stack.  So we allocate it in 'struct
svc_rqst'.

However svc_rqst contains (indirectly) an array of the same type and size
(actually several, but they are in a union).  So rather than waste space, we
move those arrays out of the separately allocated union and into svc_rqst to
share with the kvec moved out of svc_tcp_recvfrom (various arrays are used at
different times, so there is no conflict).

[PATCH] knfsd: check error status from vfs_getattr and i_op->fsync

2006-01-06T16:33:59+00:00

Both vfs_getattr and i_op->fsync return error statuses which nfsd was
largely ignoring.  This as noticed when exporting directories using fuse.

This patch cleans up most of the offences, which involves moving the call
to vfs_getattr out of the xdr encoding routines (where it is too late to
report an error) into the main NFS procedure handling routines.

There is still a called to vfs_gettattr (related to the ACL code) where the
status is ignored, and called to nfsd_sync_dir don't check return status
either.

[PATCH] knfsd: Fix some minor sign problems in nfsd/xdr

2005-11-07T15:53:48+00:00

There are a couple of tests which could possibly be confused by extremely
large numbers appearing in 'xdr' packets.  I think the closest to an exploit
you could get would be writing random data from a free page into a file - i.e.
 leak data out of kernel space.

I'm fairly sure they cannot be used for remote compromise.

[PATCH] NFSD: Add server support for NFSv3 ACLs.

2005-06-22T20:07:23+00:00

 This adds functions for encoding and decoding POSIX ACLs for the NFSACL
 protocol extension, and the GETACL and SETACL RPCs.  The implementation is
 compatible with NFSACL in Solaris.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
