[PATCH 0/3] getacl fixes

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

The getacl code is allocating enough space to handle the ACL data but
not to handle the bitmask, which can lead to spurious ERANGE errors when
the end of the ACL gets close to a page boundary.

Dros addressed this by letting the rpc layer allocate pages as necessary
on demand, as the NFSv3 ACL code does.

On its own that didn't do the job either, because we don't handle the
case where xdr_shrink_bufhead needs to move data around in the xdr buf.
And xdr_shrink_bufhead was getting called every time due to an incorrect
estimate in an xdr_inline_pages call.

So, I fixed that estimate.  That still leaves the chance of a bug in the
rare case xdr_shrink_bufhead is called.

We could fix up the handling of the xdr_shrink_bufhead case, but I don't
see the point of shifting this data around in the first place.  We're
not doing anything like zero-copy here, we're just going to copy the
data out into the buffer we were passed.  The NFSv3 ACL code doesn't
bother with this.

It's simpler just to pass down the buffer to the xdr layer and let it
copy the ACL out.

The result looks a lot simpler and more obviously correct than this code
has been, though I'm not particularly happy with the sequence of patches
that gets us there; it would be better to squash together Dros's and my
patch and then split out the result some more sensible way.

Sorry for the delay getting back to this.  Older discussions:

[PATCH 1/3] nfsd4: fix getacl head length estimation

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

Bitmap and attrlen follow immediately after the op reply header, so I'm
not sure what this extra "+1" was for.

Consequences of this are just minor efficiency (extra calls to
xdr_shrink_bufhead).

[PATCH 2/3] NFSv4: fix getacl ERANGE for some ACL buffer sizes

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: Weston Andros Adamson <dros@netapp.com>

Fix a bug where getxattr returns ERANGE when the attr buffer
length is close enough to the nearest PAGE_SIZE multiple that adding
the extra bytes leaves too little room for the ACL buffer.

Besides storing the ACL buffer, the getacl decoder uses the inline
pages for the attr bitmap and buffer length. __nfs4_get_acl_uncached
must allocate enough page space for all of the data to be decoded.

This patch uses xdr_partial_copy_from_skb to allocate any needed pages.

[PATCH 3/3] nfsd4: simplify getacl decoding

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

We still have a bug in the case xdr_enter_page() ends up needing to do
xdr_shrink_bufhead().  In that case some of the acl data could end up
shifting into the tail of the xdr_buf, but we're not prepared to handle
that.

There's not really much point to shifting the data around anyway, we're
just going to be copying it out into the buf that the vfs passed us.  So
let's just pass that buf down to the xdr layer and let it copy data
directly into it.

That means we need to allocate our own buf in the case the user didn't
give us one, so that we can still cache in that case (to efficiently
handle the common case of a getxattr(., ., NULL, 0) to get the size
followed immediately by a getxattr(., ., buf, size)).

But this still works out to be much simpler.

Whoops, forgot to retst after a last minute change!  Fixed locally.
Also fixed up the subject lines that refer to "nfsd".

I haven't looked closely at these yet, but I have some general
thoughts (worth approximately 2 cents).

NFS/RDMA clients have to pre-allocate and register a receive buffer
for requests with large replies. The client's RPC layer can't allocate
more memory if the reply overruns the existing buffer.

(Note that the server doesn't have the same problem: the client
sends an RPC-over-RDMA message telling the server exactly how large
the RPC Call message is, and the server prepares RDMA Read operations
to pull it over.)

ACLs are particularly troublesome because there doesn't seem to be
a way for a client to ask a server "how big is this ACL?" before it
actually asks for the ACL. And at least for NFSACL there does
not seem to be a protocol-defined size limit for these objects.

If the server can't fit an ACL into the client-provided reply buffer,
that causes a transport level error. The blast radius of this failure
includes any RPC that happens to be running on that connection, which
will have to be retransmitted.

If the client has sent a COMPOUND with a non-idempotent request in
the same COMPOUND with a GETATTR requesting the ACL, there could
be a problem if the server can't return the RPC because the client's
receive buffer is too small. The solution there is to always send
such operations in separate COMPOUNDs.

So I prefer in general that the NFS client (above RPC) provide as
large a buffer as practical for NFSACL GETACL and NFSv4 GETATTR
requesting an ACL. IIUC that is the direction your patches are
going.

We likely have a similar conundrum with security labels.

I think in practice the OS/filesystem limits end up being the limiting
factor.  V4.0 might be the more annoying case, partly thanks to all
those string names.

No, the net effect is to make the v4 code like the v3 code and allocate
pages for the reply only on demand.  (I understand the confusion,
there's multiple buffers involved here, and my description could
probably be better.)

Ugh.

Does the RDMA protocol give us any other mechanism we can use for the
case of ACL replies?

It probably wouldn't be so terrible to preallocate the maximum number of
pages possible if that's really the only option.  May as well get rid of
the allocations in xdr_partial_copy_from_skb if we do that, as I don't
think there are other users?

Agree, though there is no sure-fire way for either
side to know what the other peer's limits might be,
unlike, say, SYMLINK.

There is a similar hack in xprtrdma's marshaling code
that allocates reply pages while constructing the RPC
Call if the upper layer hasn't provided them.

It would be great if instead, retrieving an ACL worked
like other NFS operations.


> Ugh.

> case of ACL replies?

The current RPC-over-RDMA Version One transport provides
two options:

If the RPC Reply is guaranteed to be smaller than the
inline threshold (the size of what can be sent with RDMA
Send/Receive, which can be as small as 1KB), then RDMA
Send with pre-allocated reusable buffers is used to send
the reply. This works fine as long as the expected
Reply message will be small.

If the RPC Reply could be larger than the inline threshold,
the client has to provide a Reply chunk, which is a region
of client memory that is registered so that the server can
use RDMA Writes to return the reply.

If that region is too small, the server is supposed to
return a transport-specific error instead of the RPC
Reply.

(There is a third mechanism but it is forbidden for
everything but NFS READ/WRITE, and it would have the
same problem because the client has to know the size
of the Reply in advance).

For NFSACL GETACL, for example, the client doesn't know
how large the RPC Reply message might be. So it will always
register a Reply chunk for GETACL requests, and it risks
underestimating the size of this region (though I've never
seen it actually get overrun, since real world ACLs tend to
be small).

I can't think of any other use cases which rely on this
mechanism.

That mechanism is unreliable, isn't it? It can fail
because it cannot use GFP_KERNEL allocation while
receiving a reply, or am I misinformed. That makes
either of the current implementation choices less
preferable than having the NFS client always allocate
a large buffer while still in process context, AFAICS.

Done; here it is split out so the first two patches are minimal
bugfixes, the next two do some minor cleanup, the fifth converts to
copying data into "buf" from the xdr decoder, and the final one converts
to on-demand allocation (the part Chuck is asking about).

I left Dros as the author on the minimal ERANGE fix and the on-demand
allocation, though that choice is a little arbitrary as the changes are
all split up differently; Dros, let me know if that's problem.

It'd be nice to get at least the first two in (and possibly cc'd to
stable as well).

[PATCH 1/6] NFSv4: fix getacl head length estimation

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

Bitmap and attrlen follow immediately after the op reply header, so I'm
not sure what this extra "+1" was for.

Consequences of this are just minor efficiency (extra calls to
xdr_shrink_bufhead).

[PATCH 2/6] NFSv4: fix getacl ERANGE for some ACL buffer sizes

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: Weston Andros Adamson <dros@netapp.com>

We're not taking into account that the space needed for the (variable
length) attr bitmap, with the result that we'd sometimes get a spurious
ERANGE when the ACL data got close to the end of a page.

Just add in an extra page to make sure.

Thanks.

Anna, could we get this one in now?

The rest of it still needs some work to account for the problem Andreas
notes (where we can return a length successfully even though we'll never
accept an ACL of that length).  But this one is an easy fix for a real
bug.

Let me know if you need it resent.

[PATCH 5/6] NFSv4: simplify getacl decoding

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

There's not really much point to shifting the data around with
xdr_enter_page() (and xdr_shrink_bufhead) when we're just going to
copying the data out of the xdr buf anyway instead of trying to place
the data right for zero-copy.  And it turns out if we want to leave
page allocation to the xdr_partial_copy_from_skb() (as we will in a
following patch) shifting the data brings more ocmplications.

So let's just pass that buf down to the xdr layer and let it copy data
directly into it.

That means we need to allocate our own buf in the case the user didn't
give us one, so that we can still cache in that case (to efficiently
handle the common case of a getxattr(., ., NULL, 0) to get the size
followed immediately by a getxattr(., ., buf, size)).

But this still works out to be much simpler.

[PATCH 6/6] NFSv4: allow getacl rpc to allocate pages on demand

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: Weston Andros Adamson <dros@netapp.com>

Instead of preallocating pags, allow xdr_partial_copy_from_skb() to
allocate whatever pages we need on demand.  This is what the NFSv3 ACL
code does.

The patch description does not explain why this change is
being done.

The matching hack in xprtrdma is in rpcrdma_convert_iovs().
Note that those are GFP_ATOMIC allocations, whereas here
they are GFP_KERNEL, and are thus more reliable.

IMO this is a step in the wrong direction. We should not be
adding more upper layer dependencies on memory allocation
in the transport layer.

I strongly prefer that rather the NFSACL code works the way
this code currently does, and that the hacks be removed from
the transport implementations.

Sure, it is called xdr_partial_copy_from_skb, but that function
lives in socklib.c and is invoked only from xprtsock.c. Also, a
similar hack has to be done in xprtrdma.

So IMO this is a transport layer hack, and not part of the
(generic) XDR layer.

The only justification I see is avoiding allocating pages unnecessarily.
Without this patch, for each getacl, we allocate 17 pages (if I'm
calculating correctly) and probably rarely use most of them.

In the v3 case I think it's 7 pages instead of 17.

Do we have reason to believe that's actually a big deal?

That makes sense. Is there a real world workload that has seen
a negative effect?

I would have guessed 9. Out of curiosity, is there a reason
documented for these size limits?


> Do we have reason to believe that's actually a big deal?

The xprtrdma hack already has to allocate the full set of
pages for NFSACL GETACL.

If NFSv4 GETATTR(fs_acl4) already works this way and there
are no real problems, I can't see any issue with NFSACL GETACL
using the same mechanism to retrieve smaller objects.

The only risk to overallocating is that it could drive some
page reclaims. The upper layer should be in a better position
to prevent deadlock in this case than the transport layer is.
However if NFSv4 doesn't see a problem here, then there isn't
likely to be an issue for NFSACL GETACL, IMO.

In the v4 case: 

	#define NFS4ACL_MAXPAGES DIV_ROUND_UP(XATTR_SIZE_MAX, PAGE_SIZE)

And I believe XATTR_SIZE_MAX is a global maximum on the size of any
extend attribute value.

In the v3 case:

	/* Maximum number of ACL entries over NFS */
	#define NFS_ACL_MAX_ENTRIES     1024

	#define NFSACL_MAXPAGES         ((2*(8+12*NFS_ACL_MAX_ENTRIES) + PAGE_SIZE-1) \
	                                 >> PAGE_SHIFT)

No idea where that 1024 comes from.

XATTR_SIZE_MAX is the maximum size of an extended attribute. NFSv4
ACLs are passed through unchanged in "system.nfs4_acl".

The 1024-entry limit is arbitrary.

"Extended attribute" means this is a Linux-specific limit?

Is there anything that prevents a non-Linux system from constructing
or returning an ACL that is larger than that?

What happens on a Linux client when a server returns an ACL that does
not fit in this allotment?

I would hope an error, but I haven't tested it.

In the >=v4.1 case there are session limits, but they'll typically be
less.  In the 4.0 case I think there's no explicit limit at all.  In
practice I bet other systems are similar to Linux in that the assume
peers won't send rpc replies or requests larger than about the
maximum-sized read or write.  But again that'll usually be a higher
limit than our ACL limit.

I haven't tested either, but it looks to me like the rpc layer receives
a truncated request, the xdr decoding recognizes that it's truncated,
and the result is an -ERANGE.

Looking now I think that my "NFSv4: simplify getacl decoding" changes
that to an -EIO.  More importantly, it makes that an EIO even when the
calling application was only asking for the length, not the actual ACL
data.  I'll fix that.

Just be careful not to return a length from getxattr(path, name, NULL,
0) that will cause getxattr(path, name, buffer, size) to fail with
ERANGE, please. Otherwise, user space might get very confused.

Ugh, OK.  So there could be userspace code that does something like

	while (getxattr(path, name, buf, size) == -ERANGE) {
		/* oops, must have raced with a size change */
		size = getxattr(path, name, NULL, 0);
		buf = realloc(buf, size);
	}

and you'd consider that a kernel bug not a userspace bug?

I suspect that can happen both before and after my changes.

So what do we want for that case?  Just -EIO?

It would at least provoke errors if the above loop (with an additional
check for size == -1) didn't terminate, so I'd like to avoid that. I
see now that there is botched code in fs/xattr.c that tries to prevent
that, so I'll try to fix that so that file systems won't have to
bother.

getxattr and listxattr are trying to cast that kind of error to
-E2BIG, which seems okay.

Having seen your patch on fs-devel....  OK, so after that point, we can
choose in NFS to either to return -E2BIG ourselves or to return success
with the large length and let fs/xattr convert to -E2BIG if necessary.
Thanks, that makes sense.

Got it, thanks.

Define acl_len directly in the args initializer instead of here.
