NFSD: Add instructions on how to deal with xdrgen files

2026-01-26T15:10:58Z

xdrgen requires a number of Python packages on the build system. We don't want to add these to the kernel build dependency list, which is long enough already. The generated files are generated manually using $ cd fs/nfsd && make xdrgen whenever the .x files are modified, then they are checked into the kernel repo so others do not need to rebuild them.

NFSD: Add /sys/kernel/debug/nfsd

2025-05-11T23:48:23Z

Create a small sandbox under /sys/kernel/debug for experimental NFS server feature settings. There is no API/ABI compatibility guarantee for these settings. The only documentation for such settings, if any documentation exists, is in the kernel source code. Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

nfs_common: make include/linux/nfs4.h include generated nfs4_1.h

2025-01-21T20:30:00Z

In the long run, the NFS development community intends to autogenerate a lot of the XDR handling code. Both the NFS client and server include "include/linux/nfs4.hi". That file was hand-rolled, and some of the symbols in it conflict with the autogenerated symbols. Add a small nfs4_1.x to Documentation that currently just has the necessary definitions for the delstid draft, and generate the relevant header and source files. Make include/linux/nfs4.h include the generated include/linux/sunrpc/xdrgen/nfs4_1.h and remove the conflicting definitions from it and nfs_xdr.h.

nfsd: add LOCALIO support

2024-09-23T19:03:30Z

Add server support for bypassing NFS for localhost reads, writes, and commits. This is only useful when both the client and server are running on the same host. If nfsd_open_local_fh() fails then the NFS client will both retry and fallback to normal network-based read, write and commit operations if localio is no longer supported. Care is taken to ensure the same NFS security mechanisms are used (authentication, etc) regardless of whether localio or regular NFS access is used. The auth_domain established as part of the traditional NFS client access to the NFS server is also used for localio. Store auth_domain for localio in nfsd_uuid_t and transfer it to the client if it is local to the server. Relative to containers, localio gives the client access to the network namespace the server has. This is required to allow the client to access the server's per-namespace nfsd_net struct. This commit also introduces the use of NFSD's percpu_ref to interlock nfsd_destroy_serv and nfsd_open_local_fh, to ensure nn->nfsd_serv is not destroyed while in use by nfsd_open_local_fh and other LOCALIO client code. CONFIG_NFS_LOCALIO enables NFS server support for LOCALIO.

nfsd: allow disabling NFSv2 at compile time

2022-11-28T17:54:45Z

rpc.nfsd stopped supporting NFSv2 a year ago. Take the next logical step toward deprecating it and allow NFSv2 support to be compiled out. Add a new CONFIG_NFSD_V2 option that can be turned off and rework the CONFIG_NFSD_V?_ACL option dependencies. Add a description that discourages enabling it. Also, change the description of CONFIG_NFSD to state that the always-on version is now 3 instead of 2. Finally, add an #ifdef around "case 2:" in __write_versions. When NFSv2 is disabled at compile time, this should make the kernel ignore attempts to disable it at runtime, but still error out when trying to enable it.

NFSD: Remove CONFIG_NFSD_V3

2022-03-11T15:25:14Z

Eventually support for NFSv2 in the Linux NFS server is to be deprecated and then removed. However, NFSv2 is the "always supported" version that is available as soon as CONFIG_NFSD is set. Before NFSv2 support can be removed, we need to choose a different "always supported" version. This patch removes CONFIG_NFSD_V3 so that NFSv3 is always supported, as NFSv2 is today. When NFSv2 support is removed, NFSv3 will become the only "always supported" NFS version. The defconfigs still need to be updated to remove CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

nfsd: remove fault injection code

2020-09-25T22:01:26Z

It was an interesting idea but nobody seems to be using it, it's buggy at this point, and nfs4state.c is already complicated enough without it. The new nfsd/clients/ code provides some of the same functionality, and could probably do more if desired. This feature has been deprecated since 9d60d93198c6 ("Deprecate nfsd fault injection").

nfsd: add a new struct file caching facility to nfsd

2019-08-19T15:00:39Z

Currently, NFSv2/3 reads and writes have to open a file, do the read or write and then close it again for each RPC. This is highly inefficient, especially when the underlying filesystem has a relatively slow open routine. This patch adds a new open file cache to knfsd. Rather than doing an open for each RPC, the read/write handlers can call into this cache to see if there is one already there for the correct filehandle and NFS_MAY_READ/WRITE flags. If there isn't an entry, then we create a new one and attempt to perform the open. If there is, then we wait until the entry is fully instantiated and return it if it is at the end of the wait. If it's not, then we attempt to take over construction. Since the main goal is to speed up NFSv2/3 I/O, we don't want to close these files on last put of these objects. We need to keep them around for a little while since we never know when the next READ/WRITE will come in. Cache entries have a hardcoded 1s timeout, and we have a recurring workqueue job that walks the cache and purges any entries that have expired.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
