NFS client broken in Linus' tip

NFS client broken in Linus' tip

[Russell King - ARM Linux]

I just booted Linus' tip (plus a few other patches to imx-drm and imx
code), and stumbled into this interesting scenario:

# touch test
touch: cannot touch `test': Operation not supported

I also tried mkdir and mknod, all result in the same error.  Hard and
symlinks links are creatable.

However, I can chmod existing files and rename them.  Files can also be
deleted, and the combination of this has left me without a /etc/mtab !

The machine is a iMX6 based ARM, running root-nfs, which was mounted via
ubuntu's initramfs (so not using the kernel's built-in root-nfs.)

/proc/mounts for the root mount gives:
192.168.1.123:/var/boot/ci / nfs rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,namlen=255,hard,nolock,proto=tcp,port=2049,timeo=7,retrans=10,sec=sys,local_lock=all,addr=192.168.1.123 0 0

    ACLs on file creation if the mode bit can express the access permissions
    fully, and thus behaving identical to local filesystems.

Does replacing that return with a

fix the issue for you?

Right, this should clearly not cause nfs4_proc_create to fail if it returns EOPNOTSUPP.

Yes and no.  I still end up with an empty /etc/mtab, but the file now
exists.  However, I can create and echo data into /etc/mtab, but it seems
that can't happen at boot time.

I also find that kerberos doesn't work - again, it's weird - I can create
the file which kerberos is trying to create in /var/tmp (which is also on
the root nfs) manually, but when the kerberos daemons try to create it,
it fails with -EOPNOTSUPP.  The kerberos daemon is running as uid 0 at
that point (I don't know about the other uids/gids though since I wasn't
able to catch them in the strace.)

Odd.  Can you disable CONFIG_NFSD_V3_ACL for now to isolate the issue?

I'll be out for a long weekend soon, so I have very limited time to
debug things until Monday.

OK. I’m guessing that you’re hitting the auto-probing code further down in nfs3_get_acl(), which also returns EOPNOTSUPP in those cases. Those probably need to return NULL too, then…

However, there seems to be an inconsistency in the whole API here: posix_acl_create() and posix_acl_chmod() seem to want to return ‘0’ both when acls are not supported and when they are not set, however posix_acl_xattr_get() wants to return EOPNOTSUPP in the first case, and ENODATA in the second. How is the filesystem supposed to know what to return?

Just came across another issue, but a bit more problematic, as my
kernel (Linus' tip as well) panics, after mounting the rootfs:

IP-Config: Complete:
     device=eth0, hwaddr=00:50:43:50:1c:15, ipaddr=192.168.0.159, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=192.168.0.1
     host=develboard, domain=, nis-domain=(none)
     bootserver=192.168.0.45, rootserver=192.168.0.45, rootpath=
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) on device 0:11.

Unfortunately, that results in some problem at boot time, which
ultimately ends up with the other three CPUs being stopped, and
hence the original reason scrolls off the screen before it can be
read... even at 1920p.

Subject: [PATCH] fs: get_acl() must be allowed to return EOPNOTSUPP

posix_acl_xattr_get requires get_acl() to return EOPNOTSUPP if the
filesystem cannot support acls. This is needed for NFS, which can't
know whether or not the server supports acls until it tries to get/set
one.
This patch converts posix_acl_chmod and posix_acl_create to deal with
EOPNOTSUPP return values from get_acl().

Hi Russell,

The following patch should fix the above problem. It needs to be applied
on top of the one I sent you previously. In addition, you will want to
apply Noah Massey's patch from
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1391135472-9639-1-git-send-email-Noah.Massey@gmail.com

Shouldn't NFS just return a NULL ACL here?

I've hit the same problem, and your two patches seem fixing it.
I tested them on top of 3.14-rc1.  Feel free to take my tested-by tag

Do I still need to test this one, too?

As I said above, that causes posix_acl_xattr_get() to return the wrong answer (ENODATA instead of EOPNOTSUPP).

Hi Takashi,

Noah’s patch is not a replacement for the above 2 patches; it fixes a different problem. All three patches are therefore required for a complete solution.

Is it really the wrong answer?  How does userspace care wether this
server doesn't support ACLs at all or none is set?  The resulting
behavior is the same.

If there's a good reason to care we might have to go with your patch,
but if we can avoid it I'd prefer to keep things simple.

It will certainly cause acl_get_file() to behave differently than previously. I’ve no idea how that will affect applications, though.

One alternative is to simply wrap posix_acl_xattr_get() in fs/nfs/nfs3acl.c, and have it check the value of nfs_server_capable(inode, NFS_CAP_ACLS) before returning ENODATA. That’s rather ugly too...

FWIW, here is the alternative patch. I've tested it, and it seems to
work.

Subject: [PATCH] NFSv3: Fix return values for get_acl()

Ensure that nfs3_get_acl() returns NULL when the server doesn't support
POSIX acls. This ensures that posix_acl_create() does the right thing,
and applies the current_umask() to the mode before returning.

Add a wrapper around posix_acl_xattr_get() so that we continue to
return EOPNOTSUPP when the server doesn't support POSIX acls. Otherwise,
the NULL return from nfs3_get_acl() will cause ENODATA to be returned.

Also add the appropriate exports to posix_acl_xattr_get, posix_acl_xattr_set
and posix_acl_xattr_list to enable their use in the wrapper.

I'm not familiar with this code, but the above looks slightly weird,
and a little suspicious - especially with the lack of blank line
before the comment.  Is the above actually intended?

I much prefer the original one.  One major point of the series was to
get individual filesystems out of the business of providing xattr

Then could you and Al please provide an Acked-by? This is a userspace API, so we shouldn’t be changing return values without good reason.
