NFSD/blocklayout: Introduce layout content structure

2025-11-16T23:20:11Z

Add a layout content structure instead of a single extent. The ability to store and encode an array of extents is then used to implement support for multiple extents per LAYOUTGET. Signed-off-by: Sergey Bashirov Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

NFSD: Implement large extent array support in pNFS

2025-09-21T23:24:50Z

When pNFS client in the block or scsi layout mode sends layoutcommit to MDS, a variable length array of modified extents is supplied within the request. This patch allows the server to accept such extent arrays if they do not fit within single memory page. The issue can be reproduced when writing to a 1GB file using FIO with O_DIRECT, 4K block and large I/O depth without preallocation of the file. In this case, the server returns NFSERR_BADXDR to the client.

NFSD: Rework encoding and decoding of nfsd4_deviceid

2025-09-21T23:24:50Z

Compilers may optimize the layout of C structures, so we should not rely on sizeof struct and memcpy to encode and decode XDR structures. The byte order of the fields should also be taken into account. This patch adds the correct functions to handle the deviceid4 structure and removes the pad field, which is currently not used by NFSD, from the runtime state. The server's byte order is preserved because the deviceid4 blob on the wire is only used as a cookie by the client. Signed-off-by: Sergey Bashirov Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

nfsd: Drop dprintk in blocklayout xdr functions

nfsd: Use correct error code when decoding extents

2025-07-14T16:46:41Z

Update error codes in decoding functions of block and scsi layout drivers to match the core nfsd code. NFS4ERR_EINVAL means that the server was able to decode the request, but the decoded values are invalid. Use NFS4ERR_BADXDR instead to indicate a decoding error. And ENOMEM is changed to nfs code NFS4ERR_DELAY. Signed-off-by: Sergey Bashirov Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

NFSD: da_addr_body field missing in some GETDEVICEINFO replies

2023-08-29T21:45:22Z

The XDR specification in RFC 8881 looks like this: struct device_addr4 { layouttype4 da_layout_type; opaque da_addr_body<>; }; struct GETDEVICEINFO4resok { device_addr4 gdir_device_addr; bitmap4 gdir_notification; }; union GETDEVICEINFO4res switch (nfsstat4 gdir_status) { case NFS4_OK: GETDEVICEINFO4resok gdir_resok4; case NFS4ERR_TOOSMALL: count4 gdir_mincount; default: void; }; Looking at nfsd4_encode_getdeviceinfo() .... When the client provides a zero gd_maxcount, then the Linux NFS server implementation encodes the da_layout_type field and then skips the da_addr_body field completely, proceeding directly to encode gdir_notification field. There does not appear to be an option in the specification to skip encoding da_addr_body. Moreover, Section 18.40.3 says: > If the client wants to just update or turn off notifications, it > MAY send a GETDEVICEINFO operation with gdia_maxcount set to zero. > In that event, if the device ID is valid, the reply's da_addr_body > field of the gdir_device_addr field will be of zero length. Since the layout drivers are responsible for encoding the da_addr_body field, put this fix inside the ->encode_getdeviceinfo methods.

nfsd: move nfserrno() to vfs.c

2022-11-28T17:54:44Z

nfserrno() is common to all nfs versions, but nfsproc.c is specifically for NFSv2. Move it to vfs.c, and the prototype to vfs.h. While we're in here, remove the #ifdef EDQUOT check in this function. It's apparently a holdover from the initial merge of the nfsd code in 1997. No other place in the kernel checks that that symbol is defined before using it, so I think we can dispense with it here.

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
