[PATCH 0/9] sunrpc: Start making sunrpc work in containers

[PATCH 0/9] sunrpc: Start making sunrpc work in containers

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Hello everyone!

I would like to prepare the sunrpc layer for working in a containerized
environments. The ultimate goal is to make both nfs client and server
work in containers. Hopefully you won't object :)

Not to look like an idle talker I've prepared this set which makes the
/proc/net/rpc appear in net namespaces and made the ip_map_cache be per-net.

I do not have any plans about when this patches appear at Linus tree and
thus do not know which git tree to hack on. That said I prepared the patches
against the net-next tree (I have some custom netns debugging code in it
and don't want to port it around in vain).

Looking forward to your feedback.

Thanks,
Pavel

[PATCH 1/9] sunrpc: Pass the ip_map_parse's cd to lower calls

[Pavel Emelyanov]

The target is to have many ip_map_cache-s in the system. This particular
patch handles its usage by the ip_map_parse callback.

There are two calls that operate on ip_map_cache and are
directly called from the nfsd code. Other places will be
handled in a different way.

[PATCH 9/9] sunrpc: Make the ip_map_cache be per-net

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Everything that is required for that already exists:
* the per-net cache registration with respective proc entries

We are very curios people and would like to know more.

What does it mean to work in containers? Why is it better for
the client why is it better for the server? who and how to enjoy
this benefits. Does it have any effects on the operation of nfs/nfsd?
What problem does it solve?

That's an old question actually. What does it mean, why is it better, who
and how to enjoy etc. were answered years ago. Do you want me to google these
articles for you?

If I misunderstood your question, please rephrase.

What are you thinking of as a use-case for this?

I think it would be useful to able to run what appear to be multiple NFS
servers on a single host; and for that, we would want to vary more than
just the ip_map_cache.  The export-related caches (nfsd.fh and
nfsd.export), at least.

To make it possible run both NFS server and client in containers.
I know, that the NFS client is already a filesystem, but such
things as its internal servers and clients abstraction require
isolation from each other in containers terms.

Yup, this is one of the goals.

Sure! The thing is that the full containerization of that stuff is
too many patches and I'm not sure that you and other maintainers wish
to review the 100-patch set in one go ;)

I want to find out what git tree to hack on and prepare small patch
sets making things step-by-step. This one is just the first in a row.

If register_pernet_subsys() failed, then shouldn't this be unnecessary?
Maybe this should be rpcauth_remove_module()?

Could you describe that in user-visible terms?  (Currently if I create a
new network namespace, what happens, and what will happen differently
afterwards?)

Well, if it's really all ready....

Better, though, would be an outline of the work to be done and what you
expect to be working at the end.

For the server side you can use

	git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git nfsd-next

though generally the latest upstream will likely work as well.

On a quick skim, those patches look fine (and brokenly up nicely for
review, thanks).  My main concern is just being sure I understand where
this all ends up.

This is not about the network namespace only I believe. E.g. the
nfsd filesystem is a filesystem already and shouldn't be tied to
any task-driven context.

E.g. as far as the net namespace part is concerned. First of all
the TCP/UDP socket used by transport will be per-namespace. User
will "feel" this for example by different routing and netfilter
rules applied to connections. Besides the rpc service sockets will
be per namespace as well.

The nearest plan is

1. Prepare the sunrpc layer to work in net namespaces
2. Make rpcpipefs and nfsd filesystems be mountable multiple times
3. Make support for multiple instances of the nfsd caches
4. Make suuport for multiple instances of the nfsd_serv

After this several NFSd-s can be used in containers (hopefully I
didn't miss anything).

Plans about the nfs client are much more obscure for now.

OK, I will re-base the set onto the nfsd-next then.

Well, as far as I know the nfsd and sunrpc code the plan described
above should give us most of the work needed to containerize nfsd.

Are you assuming NFSv4 only?  Something needs to be done about NLM and NSM to make this work right.

Is there an issue for idmapper and svcgssd?  Probably not, but worth exploring.

And, how about AUTH_SYS certs?  These contain the host's name in them, and that depends on the net namespace.  NLM uses AUTH_SYS, and I believe the NFS server can make NLM calls to the client.

The client probably can't use the auth_sys cred on nlm callbacks in any
sensible way, so this may not be a big deal.

But, yes, there are probably a lot more details like this; we'll need a
list.

The client should be something like the following:

 1) Ensure sunrpc sockets are created using the correct net namespace
 2) Convert rpc_pipefs to be per-net namespace.
 3) Convert the nfs_client and superblock to be per-net namespace
 4) Convert lockd's struct host to be per-net namespace

For the client, that's initially the net namespace of the mount?  (What
about submounts?)

What do we expect behavior to actually look like from the point of view
of somebody on the client?

I'd like to see someone write some kind of spec for how this should all
work.  That worries me a lot more than the code.....

If clients are per-net namespace, then the cl_nodename can and should be
converted to reflect the utsname()->nodename. We currently force it to
be the init_utsname()->nodename, precisely because we don't support
namespaces.

I doubt anything looks at that hostname, really.  My worry is that it could leak information (like the wrong hostname) onto the network.

It is the net namespace of the process that does the mount, yes.

I think it is fairly obvious what should happen once you are in a net
namespace jail: you want all future NFS mounts to confine themselves to
that private net namespace. i.e. they must talk to the portmapper,
rpc.statd, and rpc.gssd that are defined on that net namespace, and they
must confine themselves to that net namespace when talking to servers.

The problem is dealing with clone() and unshare() (i.e. the process of
changing net namespaces).
If the resulting container inherits an NFS mountpoint from its parent
process, then I cannot see how we could sanely migrate that to a new net
namespace, since the super block etc remains shared between the two
containers as part of the mount namespaces. To avoid confusion, I
believe we need to ensure that under-the-cover mounts etc inherit the
same net namespace as the original mount, and they should talk to the
portmapper, rpc.statd and rpc.gssd that the original mount uses. If
those die, then too bad - that's operator error.

Which is one reason why using the utsname()->nodename at the time of
mount is the correct thing to do.

Trond, I think this part should be done the other way.

You see, the rpc_pipefs is a filesystem already and we shouldn't
make it bound to any task-driven context. What I was thinking about
in that direction is make it mountable multiple times.

The central issue of this is - the way we say the rpc_get_mount() 
which vfsmount we need. Userspace will just use the per-container (i.e.
per-chroot) instance of it and the kernel users will work with the
vfsmount obtained by the rpc_get_mount() call.

Now, how do I plan to solve the rpc_get_mount problem. Some time ago
there was similar problem with the devpts filesystem - people making
ptys work per-container tried to solve the same problem and they
ended up (with Al's help) with a yet another devpts mount option which
explicitly stated that a new instance should be created. How do you
think if we do the same for rpc_pipefs (a newinstance mount option) and
add yet another mount option for its only client (nfs) telling it where
to look for the rpc mount for (e.g. rpcmount=/var/...) ?

>  3) Convert the nfs_client and superblock to be per-net namespace

Ack about the nfs_client, but as far as the superblock is
concerned - I think we should tag only the nfs_server with
net for the same reasons as in the item 2) above.

As long as we have some mechanism to ensure that rpc.gssd from one net
namespace doesn't try to establish a kerberos security context on behalf
of a NFS mount that resides in a different net namespace.
My point is if the rpc.gssd resides in a different net namespace, then
we have no guarantee that the IP address we pass in the upcall even
points to the same server, so we must ensure that the namespaces match.

You should tag the nfs_server, and then make sure that nfs_compare_super
does not match something that is tagged with a different net namespace
than the current one. Otherwise, you can end up mounting the wrong NFS
server (for the same reason as above).

Sure, but for doing so there's no need in strict aliasing rpcpipefs-s
super blocks with struct net. By strict I mean, that not only the
superblock knows which struct net it works with, but also a struct net
references rpcpipefs-s supers.

Yes, of course.

Actually, there is one more task that needs to be added to the above
list. We need to figure out what to do with the keyring upcalls.

The keyring upcalls are currently initiated through the same mechanism
as module_request and therefore get started with the init_nsproxy
namespace. We'd really like them to run inside the same container as the
process.
As part of the same problem, there is the issue of what to do with the
dns resolver and Bryan's new keyring based idmapper code.
