Problems with default ACLs over NFS

Problems with default ACLs over NFS

[J.A. Magallón]

Hi all...

I have a strange problem with 2.6.29-rc8-git3.
It looks like a kernel bug... ?

I have a box with NFS autofs-mounted home directories. Server is a
Solaris 10 system. This worked in previous kernel versions, so I
don't blame Solaris, at this moment.

With this acls set in my home:


prometeo:~> getfacl .  

# file: .
# owner: magallon
# group: giga
user::rwx
user:webservd:r-x       #effective:r-x
group::--x      #effective:--x
mask:r-x
other:--x
default:user::rwx
default:group::--x
default:other:--x

I get this strange message in the linux client:

cicely:~> mkdir kk  
mkdir: cannot create directory `kk': Invalid argument

But the directory is created, and its ACLs are correct:

prometeo:~> getfacl kk  

# file: kk
# owner: magallon
# group: giga
user::rwx
group::--x      #effective:--x
other:--x
default:user::rwx
default:group::--x
default:other:--x

If I remove the 'default' entries, the error message goes away.

With strace, I get this:

mkdir("kk", 0777)                       = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

Mount info from /proc/mounts:

ldap:danae-nfs:automountMapName=auto_home,o=diis /home autofs rw,fd=7,pgrp=3165,timeout=600,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect 0 0

danae-nfs:/export/home/usuarios/giga/magallon /home/magallon nfs rw,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,nointr,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=155.210.152.202,mountvers=3,mountproto=tcp,addr=155.210.152.202 0 0

It happens the same If I try to create a file with "> kk", or try to cp -r one
other dir, but "touch kk" works.

Any idea ?

TIA

I met a similar problem.
In linux-2.6.29 with CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL enabled, 
when I executed "cp -p /local/ext2/file /nfsv3/file", I got EINVAL too.
Strace-ing this cp, I found setxsttr() return EINVAL. Before 2.6.29, it
was EOPNOTSUPPORTED.

Tracing some kernel functions, I observed several thigs.
- xdr_buf_subsegment() returned -1 due to 'len' is not 0.
- xdr_encode_word() call from nfsacl_encode() got this -1, and
  nfsacl_encode/nfs3_xdr_setaclargs/nfs3_proc_setacls/nfs3_proc_setacl/nfs3_setxattr
  returned -EINVAL.


Finally I am afraid this commit might be related to this issue.

    Fix a memory leak due to allocation in the XDR layer. In cases where the

    clearing the old ones. Fix this by moving the allocation into
    nfs3_proc_setacls().
    
    Also fix an issue discovered by Kevin Rudd, whereby the amount of memory
    reserved for the acls in the xdr_buf->head was miscalculated, and causing
    corruption.

The following patch from Trond should fix this issue, I think.

Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fix the XDR iovec calculation in nfs3_xdr_setaclargs

Commit ae46141ff08f1965b17c531b571953c39ce8b9e2 (NFSv3: Fix posix ACL code)
introduces a bug in the calculation of the XDR header iovec. In the case
where we are inlining the acls, we need to adjust the length of the iovec
req->rq_svec, in addition to adjusting the total buffer length.

Thanx.
But which tree is this patch applied?

Not yet applied. I guess it's queued up in Trond's git.

Any chance for getting this into 2.6.29.2?

I've got the exact same Problem but with 2.6.19.1 and a Linux (2.6.27something)
NFS Server. Any patch which addresses this issue?
