<content type='text'>
file_hash() digests the first LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE bytes of
nfs_fh.data when bucketing nlm_files[], independent of fh.size.
Commit 3de744ee4e45 ("lockd: Use xdrgen XDR functions for the
NLMv4 TEST procedure") set .pc_argzero to zero for the converted
procedures and moved file-handle population into
nlm4svc_lookup_file(), which copies only xdr_lock-&gt;fh.len bytes
into lock-&gt;fh.data.

When an NLMv4 client presents a file handle shorter than
LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE, bytes fh.len..31 retain whatever the argument
buffer held from an earlier request.  The same wire handle then
hashes to different buckets across calls; nlm_lookup_file() misses
the existing nlm_file entry, and lock-state lookups fail.

Zero only the tail bytes that file_hash() would otherwise consume.
Handles of LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE or larger already populate every byte
that file_hash() reads.

<title>lockd: Use xdrgen XDR functions for the NLMv3 TEST procedure</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.rulkc.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=3031fd999e2d144f865b660cec819179c9a20e06'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3031fd999e2d144f865b660cec819179c9a20e06</id>
<content type='text'>
The NLM TEST procedure requires host and file lookups to check
lock state, operations that will be common across multiple NLM
procedures being migrated to xdrgen. Introducing the
nlm3svc_lookup_host() and nlm3svc_lookup_file() helpers now keeps
these common patterns in one place for subsequent conversions in
this series.

This patch converts the TEST procedure to use xdrgen functions
nlm_svc_decode_nlm_testargs and nlm_svc_encode_nlm_testres
generated from the NLM version 3 protocol specification. The
procedure handler is rewritten to use xdrgen types through wrapper
structures that bridge between generated code and the legacy
lockd_lock representation still used by the core lockd logic.

Setting pc_argzero to zero is safe because the generated decoder
fills the argp-&gt;xdrgen subfields before the procedure runs, so the
zeroing memset performed by the dispatch layer is not needed. The
lock member of the wrapper is populated explicitly in
nlm3svc_lookup_file() rather than relying on zero-initialization.

The conflicting holder's offset and length are saturated to
NLM_OFFSET_MAX when constructing the reply. A conflicting lock
established by an NLMv4 client or by a local process can sit
beyond the NLMv3 signed 32-bit range, and copying fl_start and
fl_end straight into the unsigned 32-bit XDR fields would wrap
and report a bogus range. The previous hand-written encoder in
svcxdr_encode_holder() used loff_t_to_s32() for the same reason,
but this patch series intends to separate the concerns of data
conversion (XDR) from dealing with local byte range constraints,
so clamping is hoisted into the proc function.

The previous hand-written decoder in svcxdr_decode_cookie()
rewrote a zero-length NLM cookie into a four-byte zero cookie,
with a comment attributing the substitution to HP-UX clients.
The xdrgen-generated netobj decoder performs no such rewrite, so
a zero-length request cookie now round-trips unchanged into the
reply. HP-UX has reached end of support, and NLM_TEST reply
matching relies on the RPC XID rather than the NLM cookie, so
the workaround is dropped intentionally here.

A subsequent patch will convert fs/lockd/svcproc.c to use
machine-generated XDR encoding and decoding functions in a
manner similar to fs/lockd/svc4proc.c. Machine-generated
types derived from the NLM specification will conflict with
the internal types of the same name.

Rename the internal struct nlm_lock type to lockd_lock to
avoid such naming conflicts.

Machine-generated XDR types derived from the NLM specification
use names that match the protocol. Internal lockd types with
identical names cause compilation failures when machine-generated
encoders replace hand-coded ones.

Rename the internal struct nlm_cookie type to lockd_cookie to
prevent such collisions. The "lockd_" prefix distinguishes
implementation-specific types from specified NLM protocol types.

<title>lockd: fix TEST handling when not all permissions are available.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b474240327cebeff08ad429e8ed3cfc6c8ee816</id>
<content type='text'>
The F_GETLK fcntl can work with either read access or write access or
both.  It can query F_RDLCK and F_WRLCK locks in either case.

However lockd currently treats F_GETLK similar to F_SETLK in that read
access is required to query an F_RDLCK lock and write access is required
to query a F_WRLCK lock.

This is wrong and can cause problems - e.g.  when qemu accesses a
read-only (e.g. iso) filesystem image over NFS (though why it queries
if it can get a write lock - I don't know.  But it does, and this works
with local filesystems).

So we need TEST requests to be handled differently.  To do this:

- change nlm_do_fopen() to accept O_RDWR as a mode and in that case
  succeed if either a O_RDONLY or O_WRONLY file can be opened.
- change nlm_lookup_file() to accept a mode argument from caller,
  instead of deducing base on lock time, and pass that on to nlm_do_fopen()
- change nlm4svc_retrieve_args() and nlmsvc_retrieve_args() to detect
  TEST requests and pass O_RDWR as a mode to nlm_lookup_file, passing
  the same mode as before for other requests.  Also set
   lock-&gt;fl.c.flc_file to whichever file is available for TEST requests.
- change nlmsvc_testlock() to also not calculate the mode, but to use
  whatever was stored in lock-&gt;fl.c.flc_file.

This behaviour of lockd - requesting O_WRONLY access to TEST for
exclusive locks - has been present at least since git history began.
However it was hidden until recently because knfsd ignored the access
requested by lockd and required only READ access for all locking
requests (unless the underlying filesystem provided an f_op-&gt;open
function which checked access permissions).

The commit mentioned in Fixes: below changed nfsd_permission() to NOT
override the access request for LOCK requests and this exposed the bug
that we are now fixing.

Note that there is another issue that this patch does not address.
The flock(.., LOCK_EX) call is permitted on a read-only file descriptor.
Linux NFS maps this to NLM locking as whole-file byte-range locks.
nfsd will see this as though it were fcntl( F_SETLK (F_WRLCK)) and will
now require write access, which it might not be able to get.
It is not clear if this is a problem in practice, or what the best
solution might be.  So no attempt is made to address it.

Now that all NLMv4 server-side procedures use XDR encoder and
decoder functions generated by xdrgen, the hand-written code in
fs/lockd/xdr4.c is no longer needed. This file contained the
original XDR processing logic that has been systematically
replaced throughout this series.

Remove the file and its Makefile reference to eliminate the
dead code. The helper function nlm4svc_set_file_lock_range()
is still needed by the generated code, so move it to xdr4.h
as an inline function where it remains accessible.
