Subject: [PATCH v6 01/14] nfsd: rename ALLOWED_WITHOUT_FH to ALLOWED_WITHOUT_LOCAL_FH and revise use
Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2025 11:46:59 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251122005236.3440177-2-neilb@ownmail.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251122005236.3440177-1-neilb@ownmail.net>

From: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name>

nfsdv4 OPs which do not have ALLOWED_WITHOUT_FH can assume that a PUTFH
has been called and may actually assume that current_fh->fh_dentry is
non-NULL.  nfsd4_setattr(), for example, assumes fh_dentry != NULL.

However the possibility of foreign filehandles (needed for v4.2 COPY)
means that there may be a filehandle present while fh_dentry is NULL.

Sending a COMPOUND containing:
   SEQUENCE
   PUTFH - foreign filehandle
   SETATTR - new mode
   SAVEFH
   COPY - with non-empty server list

to an NFS server with inter-server copy enabled will cause a NULL
pointer dereference when nfsd4_setattr() calls fh_want_write().

Most NFSv4 OPs actually want a "local" filehandle, not just any
filehandle.  So this patch renames ALLOWED_WITHOUT_FH to
ALLOWED_WITHOUT_LOCAL_FH and sets it on all the other which DON'T
require a local filehandle.  That is: all that don't require any
filehandle together with SAVEFH, which is the only OP which needs to
handle a foreign current_fh.  (COPY must handle a foreign save_fh, but
all OPs which access save_fh already do any required validity tests
themselves).

nfsd4_savefh() is changed to validate the filehandle itself as the
caller no longer validates it.

nfsd4_proc_compound no longer allows ops without
ALLOWED_WITHOUT_LOCAL_FH to be called with a foreign fh - current_fh
must be local and ->fh_dentry must be non-NULL.  This protects
nfsd4_setattr() and any others that might use ->fh_dentry without
checking.

The
       current_fh->fh_export &&
test is removed from an "else if" because that condition is now only
tested when current_fh->fh_dentry is not NULL, and in that case
current_fh->fh_export is also guaranteed to not be NULL.
