[PATCH] NFS: allow name_to_handle_at() to work for Amazon EFS.

[PATCH] NFS: allow name_to_handle_at() to work for Amazon EFS.

[NeilBrown]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2172 bytes --]


Amazon EFS provides an NFSv4.1 filesystem which appears to use
(close to) full length (128 byte) file handles.
This causes the handle reported by name_to_handle_at() to exceed
MAX_HANDLE_SZ, resulting in
  EOVERFLOW if 128 bytes were requested, or
  EINVAL if the size reported by the previous call was requested.

To fix this, increase MAX_HANDLE_SIZE a little, and add a BUILD_BUG
so that this sort of inconsistent error reporting won't happen again.

Sorry for the scatter-gun To: list.  This is really more of a VFS patch
than an NFS patch and sending patches in either direction has been a bit
hit-and-miss lately, so I'm hoping Andrew will take it unless someone
else objects or beats him to it...

Thanks,
NeilBrown

[PATCH] fhandle: avoid -EINVAL if requested size is too large.

[NeilBrown]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1883 bytes --]


Lennart Poettering observes that if the newly increased
MAX_HANDLE_SZ is exported to user space, and then used in an
application running on an old kernel, name_to_handle_at() will
report -EINVAL, which is unhelpful and inconsistent with
the documentation.

So:
 1/ add a comment making it clear that the new value must
    not be exposed to user-space.
 2/ remove the completely unnecessary restriction on the size
    of buffer provided by the application.

This is a followup to the previous fhandle-for-Amazon-EFS
patch which adds further refinements.

I wonder why?

Anyway, it seems  unfortunate that systemd should need to worry about
filehandle sizes at all, given that (as far as I can tell) all it's
really calling name_to_handle_at() for is the mount_id, so it can
recognize mountpoints.

Userland NFS servers were a major motivation for the filehandle code.
And filehandles larger than 128 bytes aren't much use to them.
Hopefully they'll be able to identify the problem and fail early on.

Oh well.  ACK to both patches from me.

This really smells for so many reasons.

Also, that really is starting to be a fairly big stack allocation, and
it seems to be used in exactly one place (show_mark_fhandle), which
makes me go "why is that on the stack anyway?".

Could we just allocate a buffer at open time or something?

"open time" would be when /proc/X/fdinfo/Y was opened in
seq_fdinfo_open(), and allocating a file_handle there seems a bit odd.

We can allocate in fs/notify/fdinfo.c:show_fdinfo() which is
the earliest 'notify' specific code to run.  There is no
opportunity to return an error but GFP_KERNEL allocations under 1 page
never fail..

This patch allocates a single buffer for all inodes reported for a given
inotify fdinfo, and if the allocation files, the filehandle is silently
left blank.  More surgery would be needed to be able to return an error.

Is that at all suitable?

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Subject: fs/notify: don't put file handle buffer on stack.

A file handle buffer is not tiny, and could need to be larger in future,
so it isn't safe to allocate one on the stack.  Instead, we need to
kmalloc().

There is no way to return an error status from a ->show_fdinfo()
function, so if the kmalloc fails, we silently exclude the filehandle
from the output.  As it is at the end of line, this shouldn't
upset parsing too much.

It shouldn't upset parsing because that would be the same out
output as without CONFIG_EXPORTFS. AFAIK this information
is used by CRUI.

This WARN_ONCE is out of order. It is perfectly valid for inotify/fanotify
to watch over fs that doesn't support exportfs. Care to clean it up?
Perhaps a pr_warn_ratelimited() for either !fhbuf or can't encode?

If I were going to clean it up, I would need to do more than remove the
WARN_ONCE(), which almost certainly never fires.

exportfs_encode_inode_fh() should only be called if sb->s_export_op is
not NULL.
When it is NULL, it means that the filesystem doesn't support file
handles.
do_sys_name_to_handle() tests this, as does nfsd.  But this inotify code
doesn't.
So it can report a "file handle" for a file for which file handles
aren't supported.  It will use the default export_encode_fh which
reports i_ino and i_generation, which may or may not be stable or
meaningful.

So yes, this code does need a bit of cleaning up....

Subject: [PATCH] fsnotify: Do not show file handles for unsupported
 filesystems

Filesystems not setting their s_export_op do not support file handles.
Do no try to encode them using exportfs_encode_inode_fh() since that may
fail or return garbage.
