The patch supports legacy (32-bit) capability userspace, and where possible
translates 32-bit capabilities to/from userspace and the VFS to 64-bit
kernel space capabilities. If a capability set cannot be compressed into
32-bits for consumption by user space, the system call fails, with -ERANGE.
FWIW libcap-2.00 supports this change (and earlier capability formats)

Neil Brown points out that we're checking buf[size-1] in a couple places
without first checking whether size is zero.
Actually, given the implementation of simple_transaction_get(), buf[-1]
is zero, so in both of these cases the subsequent check of the value of
buf[size-1] will catch this case.
But it seems fragile to depend on that, so add explicit checks for this
case.

Neither EPERM and ENOENT map to valid errors for PUTROOTFH according to
rfc 3530, and, if anything, ENOENT is likely to be slightly more
informative; so don't bother mapping ENOENT to EPERM. (Probably this
was originally done because one likely cause was that there is an fsid=0
export but that it isn't permitted to this particular client. Now that
we allow WRONGSEC returns, this is somewhat less likely.)
In the long term we should work to make this situation less likely,
perhaps by turning off nfsv4 service entirely in the absence of the
pseudofs root, or constructing a pseudofilesystem root ourselves in the
kernel as necessary.

Update the write handler for the portlist file to allow creating new
listening endpoints on a transport. The general form of the string is:
<transport_name><space><port number>
For example:
echo "tcp 2049" > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist
This is intended to support the creation of a listening endpoint for
RDMA transports without adding #ifdef code to the nfssvc.c file.
Transports can also be removed as follows:
'-'<transport_name><space><port number>
For example:
echo "-tcp 2049" > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist
Attempting to add a listener with an invalid transport string results
in EPROTONOSUPPORT and a perror string of "Protocol not supported".
Attempting to remove an non-existent listener (.e.g. bad proto or port)
results in ENOTCONN and a perror string of

Move sk_list and sk_ready to svc_xprt. This involves close because these
lists are walked by svcs when closing all their transports. So I combined
the moving of these lists to svc_xprt with making close transport independent.
The svc_force_sock_close has been changed to svc_close_all and takes a list

The server silently ignores attempts to set the uid and gid on create.
Based on the comment, this appears to have been done to prevent some
overly-clever IRIX client from causing itself problems.
Perhaps we should remove that hack completely. For now, at least, it
makes sense to allow root (when no_root_squash is set) to set uid and
gid.
While we're there, since nfsd_create and nfsd_create_v3 share the same
logic, pull that out into a separate function. And spell out the
individual modifications of ia_valid instead of doing them both at once
inside a conditional.

This patch addresses a compatibility issue with a Linux NFS server and
AIX NFS client.
I have exported /export as fsid=0 with sec=krb5:krb5i
I have mount --bind /home onto /export/home
I have exported /export/home with sec=krb5i
The AIX client mounts / -o sec=krb5:krb5i onto /mnt
If I do an ls /mnt, the AIX client gets a permission error. Looking at
the network traceIwe see a READDIR looking for attributes
FATTR4_RDATTR_ERROR and FATTR4_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID. The response gives a
NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC which the AIX client is not expecting.
Since the AIX client is only asking for an attribute that is an
attribute of the parent file system (pseudo root in my example), it
seems reasonable that there should not be an error.
In discussing this issue with Bruce Fields, I initially proposed
ignoring the error in nfsd4_encode_dirent_fattr() if all that was being
asked for was FATTR4_RDATTR_ERROR and FATTR4_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID, however,
Bruce suggested that we avoid calling cross_mnt() if only these
attributes are requested.
The following patch implements bypassing cross_mnt() if only
FATTR4_RDATTR_ERROR and FATTR4_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID are called. Since there
is some complexity in the code in nfsd4_encode_fattr(), I didn't want to
duplicate code (and introduce a maintenance nightmare), so I added a
parameter to nfsd4_encode_fattr() that indicates whether it should
ignore cross mounts and simply fill in the attribute using the passed in
dentry as opposed to it's parent.

The failure to return a stateowner from nfs4_preprocess_seqid_op() means
in the case where a lock request is of a type incompatible with an open
(due to, e.g., an application attempting a write lock on a file open for
read), means that fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c:ENCODE_SEQID_OP_TAIL() never bumps
the seqid as it should. The client, attempting to close the file
afterwards, then gets an (incorrect) bad sequence id error. Worse, this
prevents the open file from ever being closed, so we leak state.

When the callback channel fails, we inform the client of that by
returning a cb_path_down error the next time it tries to renew its
lease.
If we wait most of a lease period before deciding that a callback has
failed and that the callback channel is down, then we decrease the
chances that the client will find out in time to do anything about it.
So, mark the channel down as soon as we recognize that an rpc has
failed. However, continue trying to recall delegations anyway, in hopes
it will come back up. This will prevent more delegations from being
given out, and ensure cb_path_down is returned to renew calls earlier,
while still making the best effort to deliver recalls of existing
delegations.
Also fix a couple comments and remove a dprink that doesn't seem likely

If conf and unconf are both found in the lookup by cl_clientid, then

"probable callback update" case in setclientid, where we copy the old

Therefore two clients with the same cl_client field also always share
the same cl_name field, and a couple of the checks here are redundant.

Our callback code doesn't actually handle concurrent attempts to probe
the callback channel. Some rethinking of the locking may be required.
However, we can also just move the callback probing to this case. Since
this is the only time a client is "confirmed" (and since that can only

When RPCSEC/GSS and krb5i is used, requests are padded, typically to a multiple

really is.
As of
f34b95689d "The NFSv2/NFSv3 server does not handle zero
length WRITE request correctly",
the xdr decode routines for NFSv2 and NFSv3 reject requests that aren't

even though the filehandle already has an associated dentry--if the
filehandle was created by fh_compose() in an earlier operation of the
nfsv4 compound, then we may not have done these checks yet.
Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export
without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single
compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export.

This patchset is a medium scale rewrite of the export operations interface.
The goal is to make the interface less complex, and easier to understand from
the filesystem side, aswell as preparing generic support for exporting of
64bit inode numbers.
This touches all nfs exporting filesystems, and I've done testing on all of
the filesystems I have here locally (xfs, ext2, ext3, reiserfs, jfs)
This patch:
Add a structured fid type so that we don't have to pass an array of u32 values
around everywhere. It's a union of possible layouts.
As a start there's only the u32 array and the traditional 32bit inode format,
but there will be more in one of my next patchset when I start to document the
various filehandle formats we have in lowlevel filesystems better.
Also add an enum that gives the various filehandle types human- readable
names.
Note: Some people might think the struct containing an anonymous union is
ugly, but I didn't want to pass around a raw union type.

This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at
http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php. For more information on how to use this
patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at
http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
Changelog:
Nov 27:
Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton
(security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and
security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix)
Fix Kconfig dependency.
Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in.
Nov 13:
Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from
capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t.
Nov 13:
Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey
Dobriyan.
Nov 09:
Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security
when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean
up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper
function.
Nov 08:
For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use
them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
Nov 07:
Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in
check_cap_sanity().
Nov 07:
Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since
capabilities are the default.
Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY.
Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce
audit messages.
Nov 05:
Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and
task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file
cap support can be stacked.
Sep 05:
As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place
for capability code.
Sep 01:
Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and
task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which
they called a program with some fscaps.
One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
cpuset?
It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check. But since
it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
fixing it might be tough.
task_setscheduler
note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task. Are we ok with
CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
task_setioprio
task_setnice
sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
process. Need same checks as setrlimit
Aug 21:
Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that
euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process
might still have elevated caps.
Aug 15:
Handle endianness of xattrs.
Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk.
Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are
set, else return -EPERM.
With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering
