NLM provides file locking services for NFS files. Part of this service includes a second protocol, known as NSM, which is a reboot notification service. NLM uses this service to determine when to reclaim locks or enter a grace period after a client or server reboots. The NLM service (implemented by lockd in the Linux kernel) contacts the local NSM service (implemented by rpc.statd in Linux user space) via NSM protocol upcalls to register a callback when a particular remote peer reboots. To match the callback to the correct remote peer, the NLM service constructs a cookie that it passes in the request. The NSM service passes that cookie back to the NLM service when it is notified that the given remote peer has indeed rebooted. Currently on Linux, the cookie is the raw 32-bit IPv4 address of the remote peer. To support IPv6 addresses, which are larger, we could use all 16 bytes of the cookie to represent a full IPv6 address, although we still can't represent an IPv6 address with a scope ID in just 16 bytes. Instead, to avoid the need for future changes to support additional address types, we'll use a manufactured value for the cookie, and use that to find the corresponding nsm_handle struct in the kernel during the NLMPROC_SM_NOTIFY callback. This should provide complete support in the kernel's NSM implementation for IPv6 hosts, while remaining backwards compatible with older rpc.statd implementations. Note we also deal with another case where nsm_use_hostnames can change while there are outstanding notifications, possibly resulting in the loss of reboot notifications. After this patch, the priv cookie is always used to lookup rebooted hosts in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> |
