Subject: [PATCH] mount: parse default values correctly

Commit 88c22f92 converted the configfile.c routines
to use the parse_opt interfaces which broke how
default values from nfsmount.conf are managed.

Default values can not be added to the mount string
handed to the kernel. They must be interpreted into
the correct mount options then passed to the kernel.

Fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1912877

Hi,
unfortunately this is incorrect. As the referenced patch said:

The default_value() call is now made as soon as the option has been
parsed. It is left on the options list so that new instances of the
value are ignored.

The new code doesn't leave it on the option list, so new instances are
not ignored.

conf_get_mntopts() processes options for the mount point, then options
for the server, then global options. If there is e.g. a defaultvers
for both the mountpoint and as a global option, the global option will
now not be ignored, so it takes precedence.

The real problem as identified in the bugzilla discussion, is that
po_remove_all(options, "default");
doesn't remove all the "default*" options as was the intent. Clearly I
never tested that.
This is easily fixed with
- po_remove_all(options, "default");
+ while (po_contains_prefix(options, "default", &ptr, 0) == PO_FOUND)
+ po_remove_all(options, ptr);

which I have tested :-)

I'll follow up with a patch which reverts the incorrect fix, and adds
this one.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Subject: [PATCH nfs-utils] mount: fix parsing of default options


A recent patch to change configfile.c to use parse_opt.c contained code
which was intended to remove all "default*" options from the list before
that could be passed to the kernel. This code didn't work, so default*
options WERE passed to the kernel, and the kernel complained and failed
the mount attempt.

A more recent patch attempted to fix this by not including the
"default*" options in the option list at all. This resulting in
global-default defaults over-riding per-mount or per-server defaults.

This patch reverse the "more recent" patch, and fixes the original patch
by providing correct code to remove all "default*" options before the
kernel can see them.

I realized that po_remove_all() could free 'ptr' and then compare it
against the next option, which would have undefined results.
So best to strdup and free it.
