Subject: [PATCH v1 00/27] Convert server NFSv2 XDR layer to xdrgen
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 20:41:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916004141.141884-1-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
The series replaces NFSD's NFSv2 hand-written XDR encoders and
decoders with code that was generated mechanically from the RPC
language definition of NFSv2.
The eventual goal is to convert as much of NFSD's XDR layer to
mechanically-derived code as possible to reduce the risks of human
error and memory safety vulnerabilities on the front-line between
network and internal implementation.
Following this series, the next conversion steps are: NFSv3,
NFS_ACLv2, NFS_ACLv3.
I've tested this with some simple fstests runs on NFSv2. No new
issues were found.

decoders
