From: NeilBrown make sure sunrpc init routines called before gss init routines.

kbuild: Remove export-objs := ... statements

One of the goals of the whole new modversions implementation: export-objs is gone for good!

[PATCH] RPCSEC_GSS authentication framework [4/6]

2003-01-13T05:41:33Z

This patch provides the basic framework for RPCSEC_GSS authentication in the RPC client. The protocol is fully described in RFC-2203. Sun has supported it in their commercial NFSv3 and v2 implementations for quite some time, and it has been specified in RFC3010 as being mandatory for NFSv4. - Update the mount_data struct for NFSv2 and v3 in order to allow them to pass an RPCSEC_GSS security flavour. Compatibility with existing versions of the 'mount' program is ensured by requiring that RPCSEC support be enabled using the new flag NFS_MOUNT_SECFLAVOUR. - Provide secure authentication, and later data encryption on a per-user basis. A later patch will an provide an implementation of the Kerberos 5 security mechanism. SPKM and LIPKEY are still being planned. - Security context negotiation and initialization are all assumed to be done in userland. A later patch will provide the actual upcall mechanisms to allow for this.

[PATCH] RPCSEC upcall mechanism [3/6]

2003-01-13T05:41:19Z

This patch provides the upcall mechanism that will be used for communicating with the RPCSEC client user daemons. It sets up a 'ramfs' style filesystem (rpc_pipefs) that is populated with named pipes. Each time the kernel initializes a new NFS, lockd, statd or portmapper client, a directory automatically gets set up in this fs. The directory is initially only populated with a single file "info" that provides information such as the server IP address, the port number and the RPC service for the benefit of the user daemon. When an RPCSEC_GSS mechanism needs to communicate with the daemon, it is provided with a toolkit for setting up a named pipe in the same directory. It can then perform upcalls/downcalls in order to talk to the daemon in much the same way as is done by CODA. The NFSv4 client will also need to use this same filesystem to communicate with its user daemon in order to do name-to-uid/name-from-uid and name-to-gid/name-from-gid translation.

[PATCH] Remove Rules.make from Makefiles (3/3)

2002-12-15T03:41:56Z

Makefiles no longer need to include Rules.make, which is currently an empty file. This patch removes it from the remaining Makefiles, and removes the empty Rules.make file.

kbuild: Allow for -y as well as -objs for multipart objects.

2002-10-23T16:59:59Z

Traditionally, the individual components of a multipart module are listed in -objs. Allow for using -y as well, as that turns out to simplify declaring optional parts of multi-part modules, see the converted examples in net/*/Makefile. This change is backwards-compatible, i.e. not converted Makefiles still work just fine.

[PATCH] kNFSd: Use new cache infrastructure for auth_unix specific lookups.

2002-10-11T12:39:25Z

This patch introduces two caches using the new infrastucture, and the concept of a 'domain'. A 'domain' refers to a collection of clients that all have the same view of the nfs server, and all have the same access rights (modulo different users on the clients). For AUTH_UNIX (and AUTH_NULL), the domain is determined from the IP address. For other authentication styles, the domain might be determined directly from the credentials. Each auth flavour knows how to allocate and free it's domain-specific infomation. auth_domain_cache maps a name to a domain which is owned by an auth flavour. ip_map_cache is a cache specific to AUTH_UNIX which maps IP address to domain. With this patch, svcauth_unix.c is created to store all auth_unix related code. The IP address lookup code is removed from nfsd/exports.c sunrpc module initilisation is moved out of stats.c into sunrpc_syms which seemed to be the most central .c file. It now registers these two caches. Now that the caches are being used, nfsd needs to call cache_clean periodically.

[PATCH] kNFSd: Initialial caching infrastructure for RPC authentication caches

2002-10-11T12:39:19Z

This patch provides a "virtual class" for defining caches that make user-space information available in the kernel It is intended for RPC services or clients that need user-space support for authentication. As yet, support for userspace interaction isn't included as I want that to be able to have separate review.

[PATCH] RPC over UDP congestion control updates [1/8]

2002-07-16T08:53:29Z

Implement the basic round trip timing algorithm in order to adapt the timeout values for the most common NFS operations to the server's rate of response. Algorithm is described in Van Jacobson's paper 1998 paper on http://www-nrg.ee.lbl.gov/nrg-papers.html, and is the same as is used for most TCP stacks. Following the *BSD code, we implement separate rtt timers for GETATTR, LOOKUP, READ/READDIR/READLINK, and WRITE. In addition to this, there is one extra timer for the COMMIT operation. All the remaining RPC calls use the current system in which a fixed timeout value gets set by the 'timeo' mount option. In case of a timeout, the current exponential backoff algoritm is implemented. Subsequent patches will improve this...
