Subject: [PATCH] mountd: fix --manage-gids hang due to int/uint bug
Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2010 15:49:30 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100302204930.GA8609@fieldses.org> (raw)

From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

A uid or gid should be represented as unsigned, not signed.

The conversion to signed here could cause a hang on access by an unknown
user to a server running mountd with --manage-gids; such a user is
likely to be mapped to 2^32-1, which may be converted to 2^31-1 when
represented as an int, resulting in a downcall for uid 2^31-1, hence the
original rpc hanging forever waiting for a cache downcall for 2^32-1.

Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
