Subject: [PATCH 3/3] nfs: don't allow reexport reclaims

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <[email protected]>

In the reexport case, nfsd is currently passing along locks with the
reclaim bit set. The client sends a new lock request, which is granted
if there's currently no conflict--even if it's possible a conflicting
lock could have been briefly held in the interim.

We don't currently have any way to safely grant reclaim, so for now
let's just deny them all.

I'm doing this by passing the reclaim bit to nfs and letting it fail the
call, with the idea that eventually the client might be able to do
something more forgiving here.

NACK. nfs_lock() is required to return a POSIX error. I know that right
now, nfsd is the only thing setting FL_RECLAIM, but we can't guarantee
that will always be the case.

Setting FL_RECLAIM tells the filesystem that you're prepared to handle
NFSERR_NO_GRACE. I'm not seeing the risk.

You are using a function that is exposed to the VFS. On error, that
function is expected to return a value that is a Linux error between -1
and -4095.

I suggest adding an error value ENOGRACE to include/linux/errno.h.

Or 1, actually (FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED).

I can live with that, but I'm still curious what exactly you're worried
about.

I want to avoid the kind of issues we've be met with earlier when
mixing types just because they happened to be integer valued.

We introduced the mixing of POSIX/Linux and NFS errors in the NFS
client back in the 1990s, and that was a mistake that we're still
paying for. For instance, the value ERR_PTR(-NFSERR_NO_GRACE) will be
happily declared as a valid pointer by the IS_ERR() test, and every so
often we find an Oops around that issue because someone used the return
value from a function that they thought was POSIX/Linux error valued,
because it usually is returning POSIX errors.

I did this, by the way, but also ran across a couple more bugs in
testing.

At this point I've got connectathon locking tests passing on a
re-export--I need to do a little more cleanup and then I'll repost.
