MFC: r346365
Fix the NFSv4.0 server so that it does not support NFSv4.1 attributes.

During inspection of a packet trace, I noticed that an NFSv4.0 mount
reported that it supported attributes that are only defined for NFSv4.1.
In practice, this bug appears to be benign, since NFSv4.0 clients will
not use attributes that were added for NFSv4.1.
However, this was not correct and this patch fixes the NFSv4.0 server
so that it only supports attributes defined for NFSv4.0.
It also adds a definition for NFSv4.1 attributes that can only be set,
although it is only defined as 0 for now.
This is anticipation of the addition of support for the NFSv4.1 mode+mask
attribute soon.


# 346466 21-Apr-2019 rmacklem

MFC: r345992, r346087
Add INET6 support for the upcalls to the nfsuserd daemon.

The kernel code uses UDP to do upcalls to the nfsuserd(8) daemon to get
updates to the username<->uid and groupname<->gid mappings.
A change to AF_LOCAL last year had to be reverted, since it could result
in vnode locking issues on the AF_LOCAL socket.
This patch adds INET6 support and the required #ifdef INET and INET6
to the code.


# 336846 28-Jul-2018 rmacklem

MFC: r334492
Add the BindConnectiontoSession operation to the NFSv4.1 server.

Under some fairly unusual circumstances, the Linux NFSv4.1 client is
doing a BindConnectiontoSession operation for TCP connections.
It is also used by the ESXi6.5 NFSv4.1 client.
This patch adds this operation to the NFSv4.1 server.

# 321877 01-Aug-2017 trasz

MFC r320359:

Add vfs.nfsd.nfsd_enable_uidtostring, which works just like
vfs.nfsd.nfsd_enable_stringtouid, but in reverse - when set to 1,
it forces the NFSv4 server to return numeric UIDs and GIDs instead
of "user@domain" strings. This helps with clients that can't
translate returned identifiers, eg when rerooting.

The same can be achieved by just never running nfsuserd(8),
but the sysctl is useful to toggle the behaviour back and forth
without rebooting.

MFC r320409:

Revert part of r320359, as suggested by rmacklem@. That case is only used
for nfsuserd -manage-gids and shouldn't depend on sysctl.

MFC r321196:

Rename vfs.nfsd.enable_uidtostring to vfs.nfs.enable_uidtostring.
It applies to both NFS client and NFS server, and is useful for both.
This is different from vfs.nfsd.enable_stringtouid, which is specific
to server side.

# 317917 07-May-2017 rmacklem

MFC: r317269
Set default uid/gid to nobody/nogroup for NFSv4 mapping.

The default uid/gid for NFSv4 are set by the nfsuserd(8) daemon.
However, they were 0 until the nfsuserd(8) was run. Since it is
possible to use NFSv4 without running the nfsuserd(8) daemon, set them
to nobody/nogroup initially.
Without this patch, the values would be set by the nfsuserd(8) daemon
and left changed even if the nfsuserd(8) daemon was killed. The default
values of 0 meant that setting a group to "wheel" would fail even when
done by root.
It also adds a definition of GID_NOGROUP to sys/conf.h.


# 317429 26-Apr-2017 rmacklem

MFC: r316692
Set initial values for nfsstatfs in the NFSv4 client.

The AmazonEFS NFSv4.1 server does not support the FILES_FREE and FILES_TOTAL
attributes. As such, an NFSv4.1 mount to the server would return garbage
for these values. This patch initializes the fields of the nfsstatfs structure,
so that "df" and friends will at least return consistent bogus values.


# 317419 25-Apr-2017 rmacklem

MFC: r316666
Fix the NFSv4.1 client for NFSERR_BADSESSION recovery via ReclaimComplete.

For the ReclaimComplete operation, the RPC layer should not loop on
NFSERR_BADSESSION. If it does, the recovery thread (nfscl) can get stuck
looping and will not do a recovery.
This patch fixes it so it does not loop. This bug only affects NFSv4.1 and
only when a server reboots.


# 317404 25-Apr-2017 rmacklem

MFC: r310491
Fix NFSv4.1 client recovery from NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION errors.

For most NFSv4.1 servers, a NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION error is a rare failure
that indicates that the server has lost session/open/lock state.
However, recent testing by cperciva@ against the AmazonEFS server found
several problems with client recovery from this due to it generating this
failure frequently.
Briefly, the problems fixed are:
- If all session slots were in use at the time of the failure, some processes
would continue to loop waiting for a slot on the old session forever.
- If an RPC that doesn't use open/lock state failed with NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION,
it would fail the RPC/syscall instead of initiating recovery and then
looping to retry the RPC.
- If a successful reply to an RPC for an old session wasn't processed
until after a new session was created for a NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION error,
it would erroneously update the new session and corrupt it.
- The use of the first element of the session list in the nfs mount
structure (which is always the current metadata session) was slightly
racey. With changes for the above problems it became more racey, so all
uses of this head pointer was wrapped with a NFSLOCKMNT()/NFSUNLOCKMNT().
- Although the kernel malloc() usually allocates more bytes than requested
and, as such, this wouldn't have caused problems, the allocation of a
session structure was 1 byte smaller than it should have been.
(Null termination byte for the string not included in byte count.)

There are probably still problems with a pNFS data server that fails
with NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION, but I have no server that does this to test
against (the AmazonEFS server doesn't do pNFS), so I can't fix these yet.

Although this patch is fairly large, it should only affect the handling
of NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION error replies from an NFSv4.1 server.
Thanks go to cperciva@ for the extension testing he did to help isolate/fix
these problems.

MFC r299199: Add nid_namelen bounds check to nfssvc system call

This is only allowed by root and only used by the nfs daemon, which
should not provide an incorrect value. However, it's still good
practice to validate data provided by userland.

# 292307 15-Dec-2015 rmacklem

MFC: r291638
Fix the memory leak that occurs when the nfscommon.ko module is unloaded.
This leak was introduced by r291527 (r292223 in stable/10).
Since the nfscommon.ko module is rarely unloaded, this leak would not
have been much of an issue.


# 292223 14-Dec-2015 rmacklem

MFC: r291527
Add kernel support to the NFS server for the "-manage-gids"
option that will be added to the nfsuserd daemon in a future
commit. It modifies the cache used by NFSv4 for name<-->id
translation (both username/uid and group/gid) to support this.
When "-manage-gids" is set, the server looks up each uid
for the RPC and uses the list of groups cached in the server
instead of the list of groups provided in the RPC request.
The cached group list is acquired for the cache by the nfsuserd
daemon via getgrouplist(3).
This avoids the 16 groups limit for the list in the RPC request.
Since the cache is now used for every RPC when "-manage-gids"
is enabled, the code also modifies the cache to use a separate
mutex for each hash list instead of a single global mutex.


# 276327 28-Dec-2014 peterj

MFH r275941:
Adjust the test of a KASSERT to better match the intent.

This assertion was added in r246213 as a guard against corrupted mbufs
arriving from drivers, the key distinguishing factor of said mbufs being
that they had a negative length. Given we're in a while loop specifically
designed to skip over zero-length mbufs, panicking on a zero-length mbuf
seems incorrect.

# 269398 01-Aug-2014 rmacklem

MFC: r268115
Merge the NFSv4.1 server code in projects/nfsv4.1-server over
into head. The code is not believed to have any effect
on the semantics of non-NFSv4.1 server behaviour.
It is a rather large merge, but I am hoping that there will
not be any regressions for the NFS server.


# 265714 08-May-2014 rmacklem

MFC: r265252
The new draft specification for NFSv4.0 specifies that a server
should either accept owner and owner_group strings that are just
the digits of the uid/gid or return NFS4ERR_BADOWNER.
This patch adds a sysctl vfs.nfsd.enable_stringtouid, which can
be set to enable the server w.r.t. accepting numeric string. It
also ensures that NFS4ERR_BADOWNER is returned if numeric uid/gid
strings are not enabled. This fixes the server for recent Linux
nfs4 clients that use numeric uid/gid strings by default.


# 265434 06-May-2014 rmacklem

MFC: r264672
Modify the Lookup RPC for NFSv4 so that it acquires directory
attributes. This allows the client to cache directory names
when they are looked up, reducing the Lookup RPC count by
about 40% for software builds.


# 260143 31-Dec-2013 rmacklem

MFC: r259801
The NFSv4 client was passing both the p and cred arguments to
nfsv4_fillattr() as NULLs for the Getattr callback. This caused
nfsv4_fillattr() to not fill in the Change attribute for the reply.
I believe this was a violation of the RFC, but had little effect on
server behaviour. This patch passes a non-NULL p argument to fix this.


# 259238 11-Dec-2013 rmacklem

MFC: r257901
Fix an NFSv4.1 client specific case where a forced dismount would hang.
The hang occurred in nfsv4_setsequence() when it couldn't find an
available session slot and is fixed by checking for a forced dismount
in progress and just returning for this case.
