Kernel update 3.5.7 -> 3.6.3 breaks NFS4

Kernel update 3.5.7 -> 3.6.3 breaks NFS4

[Sven Geggus]

Hello,

after updating the kernel of my NFS4-Server (because of 3.5.x EOL) I ended
up with NFS4 stopped working.

Kernel config is more or less the same as with 3.5.7, as I used "make
oldconfig". The only new stuff in the NFS area seems to be swap over NFS
which is disabled.

So starting from a working setup with 3.5.7 on the server (client uses
kernel 3.6.3) NFS4 stops working after upgrading the server to 3.6.3.

What happens is that mounting seems to hang infinitely when trying to mount
the server using the following command:
mount -v -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 <server>:/<dir> /mnt/

However everything works fine again when the server has been rebooted into kernel
3.5.7.

Here is the relevant part of .config:
CONFIG_NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS=y
CONFIG_NFS_FS=m
CONFIG_NFS_V2=m
CONFIG_NFS_V3=m
CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFS_V4=m
# CONFIG_NFS_SWAP is not set
# CONFIG_NFS_V4_1 is not set
# CONFIG_NFS_USE_LEGACY_DNS is not set
CONFIG_NFS_USE_KERNEL_DNS=y
CONFIG_NFS_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_NFSD=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V2_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V3_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V4=y
# CONFIG_NFSD_FAULT_INJECTION is not set
CONFIG_LOCKD=y
CONFIG_LOCKD_V4=y
CONFIG_NFS_ACL_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_NFS_COMMON=y
CONFIG_SUNRPC=y
CONFIG_SUNRPC_GSS=y
CONFIG_RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5=y
CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG=y

P.S.: The system is using nfs-utils 1.2.6 on debian wheezy if this should be
relevant.

I use debian testing here and NFSv4. My clients are running kernel
3.6.3, server is running 3.6.2.  No problems here.

Are you using sec=krb5?

Could I see a network trace?

	tcpdump -s0 -wtmp.pcap 'host <myclient> && host <myserver>'

then try the mount, then kill tcpdump and send me a copy of tmp.pcap.

Thanks.  So running "wireshark nfs4.pcap", I see:

	frame 13, 15: create a gss context with handle 0x01000000
	frame 17, 18: client sends a DESTROY for context 0x01000000 and
		a TCP FIN.  The RPC is malformed in that it has no verifier
		field.  The server doesn't respond.
	frame 19: client sends a PUTROOTFH using context 0x01000000.
	frame 25-31: a minute has passed, the client gives up, closes
		the connection and retries the PUTROOTFH, again with the
		same context.

That DESTROY is sent over the same connection as the context creation,
so must have been done by gssd.  So gssd has a bug.  Well, two: first,
the DESTROY is malformed, second, it shouldn't be sending it anyway.

I don't understand why the server is dropping requests instead of
returning errors.  I actually would have expected it to return BADVERF
to the DESTROY request and then accept the PUTROOTFH normally, which
might have allowed the mount to succeed despite the bizarre rpc.gssd
behavior.

I'd be curious to understand what changed on the server to make a
difference.  I can't think of anything.  Looking at a network trace from
a successful mount with 3.5.7 might be useful.

Hm rpc.gssd is the one from debian nfs-utils 1.2.6 looking at their custom
patches inside the debian package there is nothing which could cause this.

Nothing but the kernel. I'm currently dual booting either 3.5.7 or 3.6.3
vanilla kernels on the same system.

Thanks!

The sequence of events is pretty much what I described for the "bad"
trace, except that PUTROOTFH gets a succesful reply.

One other odd difference: in the "bad" case, the timing is a little
different: the socket gssd created doesn't get shut down in the same
way, and the PUTROOTFH comes more quickly on the heels of the FIN.
Which shouldn't make a difference.

Hm.

I did some further investigation on this using a freshly installed
system on virtualbox with either kernel.

Same odd behaviour. Everything work using Kernel 3.5.7. Server does not work using
Kernel 3.6.3.

There are even different filesystems on the vm (ext4) and on the real server
(xfs).

Looks like I need to cherry-pick nfs4 server changes between 3.5.7 and 3.6.3 now :(

In case you missed my previous message, "I use debian testing here and
NFSv4. My clients are running kernel
3.6.3, server is running 3.6.2.  No problems here". It would seem you
only need to cherry-pick server changes between 3.6.2 and 3.6.3...?

No, I did not miss your post. I even asked if you are using sec=krb5. I did
not try if it works without using kerberos, because I am not interested in
"No File Security" NFS3-like mode.

Unfortunately not. It already did not work using 3.6.2

Ahh sorry. I misread your post and thought it was directed towards
someone else. No, I'm not using sec=krb5.

You could always write a simple script to download & compile each
kernel inbetween that range, then just boot into each and find where
the breakage occured that way. Sometimes its easier than sifting
through a sea of changes. :)

OK, I now figured out which commit did cause the problem:

After a private conversation with J. Bruce Fields I figured out that
I have not been quite there yet. So here comes a FTR post what
exactly caused my problem.

It is the following change:

Thanks for tracking this down--not what I would have guessed!

Given that the trace showed a problem starting around context creation
time, I'm most suspicious of the callers in rsc_parse, which are mostly
parsing uid's.

Is it possible that your system has very large uid's?  (Large enough
that they'd look like negative numbers when cast to ints?)

Output from

	strace -p $(pidof rpc.mountd) -s4096 -e trace=open,close,read,write

(while reproducing the bug) might help confirm that.

Shurely not. however, mounting is done as root which might get mapped to
nobody which usually is 65534.

While doing the hanging or while doing the proper mount?

Restart the server, start strace, then try the mount, let it hang a few
seconds just to make sure you got anything interesting, then kill strace
and send the output.

I guess the results in the succesful (good kernel) case might be
interesting too, but probably the bad case is enough.

4294967295 is UINT_MAX and this place is where it behaves differently on a good
kernel where the write call will succeed:

write(4, "4294967295 1352710828 0 \n", 25) = 25

Sven

P.S.: Your patched svcauth_gss.c will give me an "access denied by server"
while mounting instead of the infinite delay:
 ~/ # mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 testsrv:/storage /mnt/
mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting testsrv:/storage

I suspect that error's coming from
net/sunrpc/svcauth_unix.c:unix_gid_parse().

So, looks like the same get_int problem exists in several other places.
Could you try the following instead of the previous patch?  I think I
got them all this time....

commit 664f26313a738f539a32c4eadd5351905e301bf2
Author: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Nov 9 15:16:02 2012 -0500

    svcrpc: fix parsing of uids and gids in gss contexts
    
    bbf43dc888833ac0539e437dbaeb28bfd4fbab9f "sunrpc/cache.h: replace
    simple_strtoul" introduced new range-checking which could cause get_int
    to fail if given an unsigned integer too large to represent as an int.
    
    Symptoms were hangs on krb5 mounts after upgrading an NFS server.

Oh, cripes, but this isn't good enough--svcgssd actually passes down -1
id's.  Ugh--I'll take a closer look tomorrow.

Yeah, for backwards compatibility reasons we probably don't want to
reject either -1 or 4294967295.

So I'm inclined to revert unless Eldad has a better idea.

commit 664f26313a738f539a32c4eadd5351905e301bf2
Author: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Nov 9 15:16:02 2012 -0500

    svcrpc: fix parsing of uids and gids in gss contexts
    
    bbf43dc888833ac0539e437dbaeb28bfd4fbab9f "sunrpc/cache.h: replace
    simple_strtoul" introduced new range-checking which could cause get_int
    to fail if given an unsigned integer too large to represent as an int.
    
    Symptoms were hangs on krb5 mounts after upgrading an NFS server.

    svcrpc: Revert "sunrpc/cache.h: replace simple_strtoul"
    
    Commit bbf43dc888833ac0539e437dbaeb28bfd4fbab9f "sunrpc/cache.h: replace
    simple_strtoul" introduced new range-checking which could cause get_int
    to fail on unsigned integers to large to be represented as an int.
    
    We could parse them as unsigned instead--but it turns out svcgssd is
    actually passing down "-1" in some cases.  Which is perhaps stupid, but
    there's nothing we can do about it now.
    
    So just revert back to the previous "sloppy" behavior that accepts
    either representation.

OK, so this can be marked as resolved (for now) on my todo list, right? Will
this go into 3.6.7 and of course 3.7?

As 3.7 has been relased now:

It looks like the unreverted Version is still present in Linux 3.7.0 as well
as 3.6.10

While it is easy enough to use
"git revert bbf43dc888833ac0539e437dbaeb28bfd4fbab9f" I would rather be able
to use vanilla kernels again.

Right, apologies, I ended up deciding to hold that for the merge window.
It's marked for stable so should make it into 3.7.x as well.

I support that - please revert. I don't know my way around the code 
enough to suggest a good solution at this point.

Uh oh. Sorry about that.
This might help pinpoint the problem - have simple_strto* WARN
(or WARN_ONCE maybe?) just before masking out the overflow.

I'm running with this now and so far I get no warnings.
