Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] nfs-utils: signed filehandle support
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 15:37:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1769027750.git.bcodding@hammerspace.com> (raw)
Here are two patches allowing userspace to set a secret key for kNFSD to
sign filehandles, and also set the option to sign filehandles for an
export.
The secret key passed to the server is the first 128 bits of a sha1 hash of
the contents of a file configured via the nfs.conf server section
"fh_key_file". Exports that have the option "sign_fh" set will cause the
server to use this key to append an 8-byte siphash of the filehandle onto
each filehandle.
This version of the userspace patches correspond with the v2 of the kernel
changes which have been posted here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/cover.1769026777.git.bcodding@hammerspace.com
This work is based on a branch that includes Jeff Layton's patch for
min-threads:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20260112-minthreads-v1-1-30c5f4113720@kernel.org/
Comments and critique welcomed.
Changes since v1:
- fh_key hash is passed as an optional attr to threads verb
- include missing hash_fh_key_file() function hunk
- wording updates (thanks NeilBrown)
