Subject: [PATCH 1/3 v2] SUNRPC: remove printk when back channel request not found
Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2023 13:47:15 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1702676837-31320-2-git-send-email-dai.ngo@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1702676837-31320-1-git-send-email-dai.ngo@oracle.com>

If the client interface is down, or there is a network partition between
the client and server, that prevents the callback request to reach the
client TCP on the server will keep re-transmitting the callback for about
~9 minutes before giving up and closes the connection.

If the connection between the client and the server is re-established
before the connection is closed and after the callback timed out (9 secs)
then the re-transmitted callback request will arrive at the client. When
the server receives the reply of the callback, receive_cb_reply prints the
"Got unrecognized reply..." message in the system log since the callback
request was already removed from the server xprt's recv_queue.

Even though this scenario has no effect on the server operation, a
malicious client can take advantage of this behavior and send thousand
of callback replies with random XIDs to fill up the server's system log.
