[PATCH v1 0/2] Improve construction of non-UCS

[PATCH v1 0/2] Improve construction of non-UCS

[Chuck Lever]

The following series proposes improvements to the default NFSv4.0
client ID strings. The purpose is to decrease the chance that two
distinct clients will choose the same string, and to make the same
client connecting via different transports choose the same string.

The use of the nodename comes from the NFSv4.1 (uniform) client
ID string. It has some shortcomings as well, but it is better
overall than using the client's local address. The use of the
uniquifier is also copied from the uniform client ID string.

The goal is to make the default behavior better. Preventing a
malicious administrator from choosing the same nodename, uniquifier,
and/or client address on purpose is not possible.

[PATCH v1 1/2] NFSv4.0: Remove cl_ipaddr from non-UCS client ID

[Chuck Lever]

It is possible for two distinct clients to have the same cl_ipaddr:

 - if the client admin disables callback with clientaddr=0.0.0.0 on
   more than one client

 - if two clients behind separate NATs use the same private subnet
   number

 - if the client admin specifies the same address via clientaddr=
   mount option (pointing the server at the same NAT box, for
   example)

Because of the way the Linux NFSv4.0 client constructs its client
ID string by default, such clients could interfere with each others'
lease state when mounting the same server:

	scnprintf(str, len, "Linux NFSv4.0 %s/%s %s",
		clp->cl_ipaddr,
		rpc_peeraddr2str(clp->cl_rpcclient, RPC_DISPLAY_ADDR),
		rpc_peeraddr2str(clp->cl_rpcclient, RPC_DISPLAY_PROTO));

cl_ipaddr is set to the value of the clientaddr= mount option. Two
clients whose addresses are 192.168.3.77 that mount the same server
(whose public IP address is, say, 3.4.5.6) would both generate the
same client ID string when sending a SETCLIENTID:

  Linux NFSv4.0 192.168.3.77/3.4.5.6 tcp

and thus the server would not be able to distinguish the clients'
leases. If both clients are using AUTH_SYS when sending SETCLIENTID
then the server could possibly permit the two clients to interfere
with or purge each others' leases.

To better ensure that Linux's NFSv4.0 client ID strings are distinct
in these cases, remove cl_ipaddr from the client ID string and
replace it with something more likely to be unique. Note that the
replacement looks a lot like the uniform client ID string.

[PATCH v1 2/2] NFSv4.0: Remove transport protocol name from non-UCS client ID

[Chuck Lever]

Commit 69dd716c5ffd ("NFSv4: Add socket proto argument to
setclientid") (2007) added the transport protocol name to the client
ID string, but the patch description doesn't explain why this was
necessary.

At that time, the only transport protocol name that would have been
used is "tcp" (for both IPv4 and IPv6), resulting in no additional
distinctiveness of the client ID string.

Since there is one client instance, the server should recognize it's
state whether the client is connecting via TCP or RDMA. Same client,
same lease.

OK. Would that also true in the UCS case?

But the UCS does not include the transport type. Maybe something is
broken here (that something could be my understanding). Seems to me
that could impact transparent state migration between a server that
is mounted with RDMA, and one that has only TCP.

I'm willing to drop 2/2.

Are you building the official NFS client PR for this merge window?
Would you consider taking this series?
