[PATCH v1 0/4] nfs-utils changes for RPC-with-TLS server

[PATCH v1 0/4] nfs-utils changes for RPC-with-TLS server

[Chuck Lever]

Hi Steve-

This is server-side support for RPC-with-TLS, to accompany similar
support in the Linux NFS client. This implementation can support
both the opportunistic use of transport layer security (it will be
used if the client cares to) and the required use of transport
layer security (the server requires the client to use it to access
a particular export).

Without any other user space componentry, this implementation will
be able to handle clients that request the use of RPC-with-TLS. To
support security policies that restrict access to exports based on
the client's use of TLS, modifications to exportfs and mountd are
needed. These can be found here:

git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/nfs-utils.git

They include an update to exports(5) explaining how to use the new
"xprtsec=" export option.

The kernel patches, along with the the handshake upcall, are carried
in the topic-rpc-with-tls-upcall branch available from:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git

This was posted under separate cover.

[PATCH v1 2/4] exports: Add an xprtsec= export option

[Chuck Lever]

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

The overall goal is to enable administrators to require the use of
transport layer security when clients access particular exports.

This patch adds support to exportfs to parse and display a new
xprtsec= export option. The setting is not yet passed to the kernel.

Can we put these into a uapi header somewhere and then just have
nfs-utils use those if they're defined?

I moved these to include/uapi/linux/nfsd/export.h in the
kernel patches, and adjust the nfs-utils patches to use the
same numeric values in exportfs as the kernel.

But it's not clear how a uAPI header would become visible
during, say, an RPM build of nfs-utils. Does anyone know
how that works? The kernel docs I've read suggest uAPI is
for user space tools that actually live in the kernel source
tree.

I think the cases where only user space or only the kernel
support xprtsec should work OK: the kernel has a default
transport layer security policy of "all ok" and old kernels
ignore export options from user space they don't recognize.

Unfortunately, you need to build on a box that has kernel headers from
an updated kernel.

The usual way to deal with this is to have a copy in the userland
sources but only define them if one of the relevant constants isn't
already defined.

So you'll probably want to keep something like this in the userland
tree:

#ifndef NFSEXP_XPRTSEC_NONE
# define NFSEXP_XPRTSEC_NONE 1
# define NFSEXP_XPRTSEC_TLS  2
# define NFSEXP_XPRTSEC_MTLS 3
#endif

There may be some way to do that and keep it as an enum too. I'm not
sure.

I would not like to add this dependency to nfs-utils or sub-packages.

Is there a reason these could not be in export.h?

This is a little awkward, as the NFS server really isn't involved at all
at that level in the case of a VPN or ssh tunnel. How about:

The Linux NFS server supports transport layer security (TLS) to protect
RPC traffic between itself and its clients via RPC-with-TLS which uses
TLSv1.3. Alternately, RPC traffic can be secured via a VPN, ssh tunnel
or similar mechanism that encrypts traffic in a way that is transparent
to the server.

Shouldn't that list order be reversed? IOW, shouldn't we default to mtls
first since it's more secure?

It might also be good to spell out what the kernel does with an ordered
list here. In what order are these methods attempted and at what point
does the server give up?

In the event that tlshd isn't running, what happens? I assume we give up
on TLS at that point, but how long does it take for the kernel to
realize that it's not there?

Sure, that expresses what I was after.

There's no order to this list. It's simply a list of
transport layer security settings that the server will
permit clients to use on this transport.

The "ordered list" concept is from the MNT protocol.
For xprtsec, there's no communication or negotiation
of preferences with clients.

If tlshd is not running, the handshake request fails immediately.
There's no timeout needed thanks to netlink multi-cast.

Nice work, Chuck! This all looks pretty straightforward. I have a
(minor) concern about potentially blocking nfsd threads for up to 20s in
a handshake, but this seems like a good place to start.

Yes! But Will here be a V2 with the suggested changes?

It would be good to get a new release with these patches
in before the upcoming Bakeathon.

The concept and operation of xprtsec= is pretty new... would there be a problem if all this were to change significantly after community review?

Not a problem at all! I was just thinking about get the patches into
