Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: depend on CRYPTO_MD5 for legacy client tracking
Date: Tue,  3 Dec 2019 07:52:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d411d31bcde3e0221d54ee8bb5af80772a277cad.1575355896.git.ps@pks.im> (raw)

The legacy client tracking infrastructure of nfsd makes use of MD5 to
derive a client's recovery directory name. As the nfsd module doesn't
declare any dependency on CRYPTO_MD5, though, it may fail to allocate
the hash if the kernel was compiled without it. As a result, generation
of client recovery directories will fail with the following error:

    NFSD: unable to generate recoverydir name

The dependency was removed as a seemingly redundant dependency back in
6aaa67b5f3b9 (NFSD: Remove redundant "select" clauses in fs/Kconfig
2008-02-11). But in fact, even then the MD5 module was pulled in only
when RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 or RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 was selected.

Fix the issue by adding back an explicit dependency on CRYPTO_MD5.

Fixes: 6aaa67b5f3b9 (NFSD: Remove redundant "select" clauses in fs/Kconfig)
