Intermittent crashes in the NLM (rpc.lockd) code during system
shutdown was reporetd via email. The crashes occurred because the
client side NLM would attempt to use its socket after it had been
destroyed. Looking at the code, it would soclose() once the reference
count on the socket handling structure went to 0. Unfortunately,
nlm_host_get_rpc() will simply allocate a new socket handling structure
when none exists and use the now soclose()d socket. Since there doesn't
seem to be a safe way to determine when the socket is no longer needed,
this patch modifies the code so that it never soclose()es the socket.
Since there is only one socket ever created, this does not introduce a
leak when the rpc.lockd is stopped/restarted. The patch also disables
unloading of the nfslockd module, since it is not safe to do so (and
has never been safe to do so, from what I can see).

In particular, do not lock Giant conditionally when calling into the
filesystem module, remove the VFS_LOCK_GIANT() and related
macros. Stop handling buffers belonging to non-mpsafe filesystems.

The VFS_VERSION is bumped to indicate the interface change which does
not result in the interface signatures changes.

jwd@ reported a problem via email to freebsd-fs@ on Aug 25, 2011
under the subject "F_RDLCK lock to FreeBSD NFS fails to R/O target file".
This occurred because the server side NLM always checked for VWRITE
access, irrespective of the type of lock request. This patch
replaces VOP_ACCESS(..VWRITE..) with one appropriate to
the lock operation. It allows unlock and lock cancellation
to be done without a check of VOP_ACCESS(), so that files
can't be left locked indefinitely after the file permissions
have been changed.

In order to maximize the re-usability of kernel code in user space this
patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility
calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also
fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future
MFCs that change syscalls.

Add a lock flags argument to the VFS_FHTOVP() file system
method, so that callers can indicate the minimum vnode
locking requirement. This will allow some file systems to choose
to return a LK_SHARED locked vnode when LK_SHARED is specified
for the flags argument. This patch only adds the flag. It
does not change any file system to use it and all callers
specify LK_EXCLUSIVE, so file system semantics are not changed.

Modify the NFS clients and the NLM so that the NLM can be used
by both clients. Since the NLM uses various fields of the
nfsmount structure, those fields were extracted and put in a
separate nfs_mountcommon structure stored in sys/nfs/nfs_mountcommon.h.
This structure also has a function pointer for a function that
extracts the required information from the mount point and nfs vnode
for that particular client, for information stored differently by the

Place hostnames and similar information fully under the prison system.
The system hostname is now stored in prison0, and the global variable
"hostname" has been removed, as has the hostname_mtx mutex. Jails may
have their own host information, or they may inherit it from the
parent/system. The proper way to read the hostname is via
getcredhostname(), which will copy either the hostname associated with
the passed cred, or the system hostname if you pass NULL. The system
hostname can still be accessed directly (and without locking) at
prison0.pr_host, but that should be avoided where possible.

The "similar information" referred to is domainname, hostid, and
hostuuid, which have also become prison parameters and had their
associated global variables removed.

Implement support for RPCSEC_GSS authentication to both the NFS client
and server. This replaces the RPC implementation of the NFS client and
server with the newer RPC implementation originally developed
(actually ported from the userland sunrpc code) to support the NFS
Lock Manager. I have tested this code extensively and I believe it is
stable and that performance is at least equal to the legacy RPC
implementation.

The NFS code currently contains support for both the new RPC
implementation and the older legacy implementation inherited from the
original NFS codebase. The default is to use the new implementation -
add the NFS_LEGACYRPC option to fall back to the old code. When I
merge this support back to RELENG_7, I will probably change this so
that users have to 'opt in' to get the new code.

To use RPCSEC_GSS on either client or server, you must build a kernel
which includes the KGSSAPI option and the crypto device. On the
userland side, you must build at least a new libc, mountd, mount_nfs
and gssd. You must install new versions of /etc/rc.d/gssd and
/etc/rc.d/nfsd and add 'gssd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf.

As long as gssd is running, you should be able to mount an NFS
filesystem from a server that requires RPCSEC_GSS authentication. The
mount itself can happen without any kerberos credentials but all
access to the filesystem will be denied unless the accessing user has
a valid ticket file in the standard place (/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>). There
is currently no support for situations where the ticket file is in a
different place, such as when the user logged in via SSH and has
delegated credentials from that login. This restriction is also
present in Solaris and Linux. In theory, we could improve this in
future, possibly using Brooks Davis' implementation of variant
symlinks.

Supporting RPCSEC_GSS on a server is nearly as simple. You must create
service creds for the server in the form 'nfs/<fqdn>@<REALM>' and
install them in /etc/krb5.keytab. The standard heimdal utility ktutil
makes this fairly easy. After the service creds have been created, you
can add a '-sec=krb5' option to /etc/exports and restart both mountd
and nfsd.

The only other difference an administrator should notice is that nfsd
doesn't fork to create service threads any more. In normal operation,
there will be two nfsd processes, one in userland waiting for TCP
connections and one in the kernel handling requests. The latter
process will create as many kthreads as required - these should be
visible via 'top -H'. The code has some support for varying the number
of service threads according to load but initially at least, nfsd uses
a fixed number of threads according to the value supplied to its '-n'
option.

Minor changes to improve compatibility with older FreeBSD releases.


177662 27-Mar-2008 dfr

Add kernel module support for nfslockd and krpc. Use the module system
to detect (or load) kernel NLM support in rpc.lockd. Remove the '-k'
option to rpc.lockd and make kernel NLM the default. A user can still
force the use of the old user NLM by building a kernel without NFSLOCKD
and/or removing the nfslockd.ko module.


177633 26-Mar-2008 dfr

Add the new kernel-mode NFS Lock Manager. To use it instead of the
user-mode lock manager, build a kernel with the NFSLOCKD option and
add '-k' to 'rpc_lockd_flags' in rc.conf.

Highlights include:

* Thread-safe kernel RPC client - many threads can use the same RPC
client handle safely with replies being de-multiplexed at the socket
upcall (typically driven directly by the NIC interrupt) and handed
off to whichever thread matches the reply. For UDP sockets, many RPC
clients can share the same socket. This allows the use of a single
privileged UDP port number to talk to an arbitrary number of remote
hosts.

* Single-threaded kernel RPC server. Adding support for multi-threaded
server would be relatively straightforward and would follow
approximately the Solaris KPI. A single thread should be sufficient
for the NLM since it should rarely block in normal operation.

* Kernel mode NLM server supporting cancel requests and granted
callbacks. I've tested the NLM server reasonably extensively - it
passes both my own tests and the NFS Connectathon locking tests
running on Solaris, Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux.

* Userland NLM client supported. While the NLM server doesn't have
support for the local NFS client's locking needs, it does have to
field async replies and granted callbacks from remote NLMs that the
local client has contacted. We relay these replies to the userland
rpc.lockd over a local domain RPC socket.

* Robust deadlock detection for the local lock manager. In particular
it will detect deadlocks caused by a lock request that covers more
than one blocking request. As required by the NLM protocol, all
deadlock detection happens synchronously - a user is guaranteed that
if a lock request isn't rejected immediately, the lock will
eventually be granted. The old system allowed for a 'deferred
deadlock' condition where a blocked lock request could wake up and
find that some other deadlock-causing lock owner had beaten them to
the lock.

* Since both local and remote locks are managed by the same kernel
locking code, local and remote processes can safely use file locks
for mutual exclusion. Local processes have no fairness advantage
compared to remote processes when contending to lock a region that
has just been unlocked - the local lock manager enforces a strict
first-come first-served model for both local and remote lockers.
