48db892356 NFSD: Defer sub-object cleanup in export put callbacks
svc_export_put() calls path_put() and auth_domain_put() immediately
when the last reference drops, before the RCU grace period. RCU
readers in e_show() and c_show() access both ex_path (via
seq_path/d_path) and ex_client->name (via seq_escape) without
holding a reference. If cache_clean removes the entry and drops the
last reference concurrently, the sub-objects are freed while still
in use, producing a NULL pointer dereference in d_path.

Commit 2530766492 ("nfsd: fix UAF when access ex_uuid or
ex_stats") moved kfree of ex_uuid and ex_stats into the
call_rcu callback, but left path_put() and auth_domain_put() running
before the grace period because both may sleep and call_rcu
callbacks execute in softirq context.

Replace call_rcu/kfree_rcu with queue_rcu_work(), which defers the
callback until after the RCU grace period and executes it in process
context where sleeping is permitted. This allows path_put() and
auth_domain_put() to be moved into the deferred callback alongside
the other resource releases. Apply the same fix to expkey_put(),
which has the identical pattern with ek_path and ek_client.

A dedicated workqueue scopes the shutdown drain to only NFSD
export release work items; flushing the shared
system_unbound_wq would stall on unrelated work from other
subsystems. nfsd_export_shutdown() uses rcu_barrier() followed
by flush_workqueue() to ensure all deferred release callbacks
complete before the export caches are destroyed.

364410170a nfsd: report the requested maximum number of threads instead of number running
The current netlink and /proc interfaces deviate from their traditional
values when dynamic threading is enabled, and there is currently no way
to know what the current setting is. This patch brings the reporting
back in line with traditional behavior.

Make these interfaces report the requested maximum number of threads
instead of the number currently running. Also, update documentation and
comments to reflect that this value represents a maximum and not the
number currently running.

92978c83bb nfsd: Fix cred ref leak in nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit().
nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() uses get_current_cred() without

As we can see from other callers, svc_xprt_create_from_sa()

nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() is always in the process context,

1cb968a201 nfsd: Fix cred ref leak in nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit().
syzbot reported memory leak of struct cred. [0]

nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit() passes get_current_cred() to
nfsd_svc(), but put_cred() is not called after that.

The cred is finally passed down to _svc_xprt_create(),
which calls get_cred() with the cred for struct svc_xprt.

The ownership of the refcount by get_current_cred() is not
transferred to anywhere and is just leaked.

nfsd_svc() is also called from write_threads(), but it does
not bump file->f_cred there.

nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit() is called from sendmsg() and
current->cred does not go away.

Let's use current_cred() in nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit().

e939bd6756 NFSD: Add POSIX ACL file attributes to SUPPATTR bitmasks
Now that infrastructure for NFSv4 POSIX draft ACL has been added
to NFSD, it should be safe to advertise support to NFS clients.

NFSD_SUPPATTR_EXCLCREAT_WORD2 includes NFSv4.2-only attributes,
but version filtering occurs via nfsd_suppattrs[] before this
mask is applied, ensuring pre-4.2 clients never see unsupported
attributes.

318579c093 NFSD: Add POSIX draft ACL support to the NFSv4 SETATTR operation
The POSIX ACL extension to NFSv4 enables clients to set access
and default ACLs via FATTR4_POSIX_ACCESS_ACL and
FATTR4_POSIX_DEFAULT_ACL attributes. Integration of these
attributes into SETATTR processing requires wiring them through
the nfsd_attrs structure and ensuring proper cleanup on all
code paths.

This patch connects the na_pacl and na_dpacl fields in
nfsd_attrs to the decoded ACL pointers from the NFSv4 SETATTR
decoder. Ownership of these ACL references transfers to attrs
immediately after initialization, with the decoder's pointers
cleared to NULL. This transfer ensures nfsd_attrs_free()
releases the ACLs on normal completion, while new error paths
call posix_acl_release() directly when cleanup occurs before
nfsd_attrs_free() runs.

Early returns in the nfsd4_setattr() function gain conversions
to goto statements that branch to proper cleanup handlers.
Error paths before fh_want_write() branch to out_err for ACL
release only; paths after fh_want_write() use the existing out
label for full cleanup via nfsd_attrs_free().

The patch adds mutual exclusion between NFSv4 ACLs (sa_acl) and
POSIX ACLs. Setting both types simultaneously returns
nfserr_inval because these ACL models cannot coexist on the
same file object.

d2ca50606f NFSD: Add support for POSIX draft ACLs for file creation
NFSv4.2 clients can specify POSIX draft ACLs when creating file
objects via OPEN(CREATE) and CREATE operations. The previous patch
added POSIX ACL support to the NFSv4 SETATTR operation for modifying
existing objects, but file creation follows different code paths
that also require POSIX ACL handling.

This patch integrates POSIX ACL support into nfsd4_create() and
nfsd4_create_file(). Ownership of the decoded ACL pointers
(op_dpacl, op_pacl, cr_dpacl, cr_pacl) transfers to the nfsd_attrs
structure immediately, with the original fields cleared to NULL.
This transfer ensures nfsd_attrs_free() releases the ACLs upon
completion while preventing double-free on error paths.

Mutual exclusion between NFSv4 ACLs and POSIX ACLs is enforced:
setting both op_acl and op_dpacl/op_pacl simultaneously returns
nfserr_inval. Errors during ACL application clear the corresponding
bits in the result bitmask (fattr->bmval), signaling partial
completion to the client.

345c4b7734 NFSD: Refactor nfsd_setattr()'s ACL error reporting
Support for FATTR4_POSIX_ACCESS_ACL and FATTR4_POSIX_DEFAULT_ACL
attributes in subsequent patches allows clients to set both ACL
types simultaneously during SETATTR and file creation. Each ACL
type can succeed or fail independently, requiring the server to
clear individual attribute bits in the reply bitmap when one
fails while the other succeeds.

The existing na_aclerr field cannot distinguish which ACL type
encountered an error. Separate error fields (na_paclerr for
access ACLs, na_dpaclerr for default ACLs) enable the server to
report per-ACL-type failures accurately.

This refactoring also adds validation previously absent: default
ACL processing rejects non-directory targets with EINVAL and
passes NULL to set_posix_acl() when a_count is zero to delete
the ACL. Access ACL processing rejects zero a_count with EINVAL
for ACL_SCOPE_FILE_SYSTEM semantics (the only scope currently
supported).

The changes preserve compatibility with existing NFSv4 ACL code.
NFSv4 ACL conversion (nfs4_acl_nfsv4_to_posix()) never produces
POSIX ACLs with a_count == 0, so the new validation logic only
affects future POSIX ACL attribute handling.

9ac6fc0fab NFSD: Do not allow NFSv4 (N)VERIFY to check POSIX ACL attributes
Section 9.3 of draft-ietf-nfsv4-posix-acls-00 prohibits use of
the POSIX ACL attributes with VERIFY and NVERIFY operations: the
server MUST reply NFS4ERR_INVAL when a client attempts this.

Beyond the protocol requirement, comparison of POSIX draft ACLs
via (N)VERIFY presents an implementation challenge. Clients are
not required to order the ACEs within a POSIX ACL in any
particular way, making reliable attribute comparison impractical.

Return nfserr_inval when the client requests FATTR4_POSIX_ACCESS_ACL
or FATTR4_POSIX_DEFAULT_ACL in a VERIFY or NVERIFY operation.

97e9a9ec32 NFSD: Add nfsd4_encode_fattr4_posix_access_acl
The POSIX ACL extension to NFSv4 defines FATTR4_POSIX_ACCESS_ACL
for retrieving the access ACL of a file or directory. This patch
adds the XDR encoder for that attribute.

The access ACL is retrieved via get_inode_acl(). If the filesystem
provides no explicit access ACL, one is synthesized from the file
mode via posix_acl_from_mode(). Each entry is encoded as a
posixace4: tag type, permission bits, and principal name (empty
for structural entries, resolved via idmapping for USER/GROUP
entries).

Unlike the default ACL encoder which applies only to directories,
this encoder handles all inode types and ensures an access ACL is
always available through mode-based synthesis when needed.

8093c31f2c NFSD: Add nfsd4_encode_fattr4_acl_trueform_scope
The FATTR4_ACL_TRUEFORM_SCOPE attribute indicates the granularity at
which the ACL model can vary: per file object, per file system, or
uniformly across the entire server.

In Linux, the ACL model is determined by the SB_POSIXACL superblock
flag, which applies uniformly to all files within a file system.
Different exported file systems can have different ACL models, but
individual files cannot differ from their containing file system.

4a639a727f NFSD: Add nfsd4_encode_fattr4_acl_trueform
Mapping between NFSv4 ACLs and POSIX ACLs is semantically imprecise:
a client that sets an NFSv4 ACL and reads it back may see a different
ACL than it wrote. The proposed NFSv4 POSIX ACL extension introduces
the FATTR4_ACL_TRUEFORM attribute, which reports whether a file
object stores its access control permissions using NFSv4 ACLs or
POSIX ACLs.

A client aware of this extension can avoid lossy translation by
requesting and setting ACLs in their native format.

When NFSD is built with CONFIG_NFSD_V4_POSIX_ACLS, report
ACL_MODEL_POSIX_DRAFT for file objects on file systems with the
SB_POSIXACL flag set, and ACL_MODEL_NONE otherwise. Linux file
systems do not store NFSv4 ACLs natively, so ACL_MODEL_NFS4 is never
reported.

6bc85baba4 xdrgen: Implement pass-through lines in specifications
XDR specification files can contain lines prefixed with '%' that
pass through unchanged to generated output. Traditional rpcgen
removes the '%' and emits the remainder verbatim, allowing direct
insertion of C includes, pragma directives, or other language-
specific content into the generated code.

Until now, xdrgen silently discarded these lines during parsing.
This prevented specifications from including necessary headers or
preprocessor directives that might be required for the generated
code to compile correctly.

The grammar now captures pass-through lines instead of ignoring
them. A new AST node type represents pass-through content, and
the AST transformer strips the leading '%' character. Definition
and source generators emit pass-through content in document order,
preserving the original placement within the specification.

This brings xdrgen closer to feature parity with traditional
rpcgen while maintaining the existing document-order processing
model.

Existing generated xdrgen source code has been regenerated.

Each cancelled copy triggers a CB_OFFLOAD callback carrying the

terminated the operation.

The static drop_client() function is renamed to nfsd4_put_client()
and exported. The function must be exported because both the new
nfsd4_cancel_copy_by_sb() and the CB_OFFLOAD release callback in
nfs4proc.c need to release client references.

nfsd() is changed to pass a timeout to svc_recv() when there is a min

In the case of -ETIMEDOUT, if the service mutex can be taken (via

providing that the actual number of threads is above pool->sp_nrthrmin.

In the case of -EBUSY, if the actual number of threads is below
pool->sp_nrthrmax, it will attempt to start a new thread. This attempt
is gated on a new SP_TASK_STARTING pool flag that serializes thread
creation attempts within a pool, and further by mutex_trylock().

5288993c4d xdrgen: Add enum value validation to generated decoders
XDR enum decoders generated by xdrgen do not verify that incoming
values are valid members of the enum. Incoming out-of-range values
from malicious or buggy peers propagate through the system
unchecked.

Add validation logic to generated enum decoders using a switch
statement that explicitly lists valid enumerator values. The
compiler optimizes this to a simple range check when enum values
are dense (contiguous), while correctly rejecting invalid values
for sparse enums with gaps in their value ranges.

The --no-enum-validation option on the source subcommand disables
this validation when not needed.

The minimum and maximum fields in _XdrEnum, which were previously
unused placeholders for a range-based validation approach, have
been removed since the switch-based validation handles both dense

4c53b89032 xdrgen: Emit a max_arg_sz macro
struct svc_service has a .vs_xdrsize field that is filled in by
servers for each of their RPC programs. This field is supposed to
contain the size of the largest procedure argument in the RPC
program. This value is also sometimes used to size network
transport buffers.

Currently, server implementations must manually calculate and
hard-code this value, which is error-prone and requires updates
when procedure arguments change.

Update xdrgen to determine which procedure argument structure is
largest, and emit a macro with a well-known name that contains
the size of that structure. Server code then uses this macro when
initializing the .vs_xdrsize field.

For NLM version 4, xdrgen now emits:

    #define NLM4_MAX_ARGS_SZ (NLM4_nlm4_lockargs_sz)

63a5425ff5 xdrgen: Extend error reporting to AST transformation phase
Commit 277df18d7df9 ("xdrgen: Improve parse error reporting") added
clean, compiler-style error messages for syntax errors detected during
parsing. However, semantic errors discovered during AST transformation
still produce verbose Python stack traces.

When an XDR specification references an undefined type, the transformer
raises a VisitError wrapping a KeyError. Before this change:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File ".../lark/visitors.py", line 124, in _call_userfunc
      return f(children)
    ...
  KeyError: 'fsh4_mode'
  ...
  lark.exceptions.VisitError: Error trying to process rule "basic":
  'fsh4_mode'

After this change:

  file.x:156:2: semantic error
  Undefined type 'fsh4_mode'

      	fsh4_mode	mode;
              ^

The new handle_transform_error() function extracts position information
from the Lark tree node metadata and formats the error consistently with
parse error messages.

3e6397b056 SUNRPC: auth_gss: fix memory leaks in XDR decoding error paths
The gssx_dec_ctx(), gssx_dec_status(), and gssx_dec_name()
functions allocate memory via gssx_dec_buffer(), which calls
kmemdup(). When a subsequent decode operation fails, these
functions return immediately without freeing previously
allocated buffers, causing memory leaks.

The leak in gssx_dec_ctx() is particularly relevant because
the caller (gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall) initializes several
buffer length fields to non-zero values, resulting in memory
allocation:

    struct gssx_ctx rctxh = {
        .exported_context_token.len = GSSX_max_output_handle_sz,
        .mech.len = GSS_OID_MAX_LEN,
        .src_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz,
        .targ_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz
    };

If, for example, gssx_dec_name() succeeds for src_name but
fails for targ_name, the memory allocated for
exported_context_token, mech, and src_name.display_name
remains unreferenced and cannot be reclaimed.

Add error handling with goto-based cleanup to free any
previously allocated buffers before returning an error.

404d779466 nfsd: fix return error code for nfsd_map_name_to_[ug]id
idmap lookups can time out while the cache is waiting for a userspace
upcall reply. In that case cache_check() returns -ETIMEDOUT to callers.

The nfsd_map_name_to_[ug]id functions currently proceed with attempting
to map the id to a kuid despite a potentially temporary failure to
perform the idmap lookup. This results in the code returning the error
NFSERR_BADOWNER which can cause client operations to return to userspace
with failure.

Fix this by returning the failure status before attempting kuid mapping.

This will return NFSERR_JUKEBOX on idmap lookup timeout so that clients
can retry the operation instead of aborting it.

f9c206cdc4 nfsd: never defer requests during idmap lookup
During v4 request compound arg decoding, some ops (e.g. SETATTR)
can trigger idmap lookup upcalls. When those upcall responses get
delayed beyond the allowed time limit, cache_check() will mark the
request for deferral and cause it to be dropped.

This prevents nfs4svc_encode_compoundres from being executed, and
thus the session slot flag NFSD4_SLOT_INUSE never gets cleared.
Subsequent client requests will fail with NFSERR_JUKEBOX, given
that the slot will be marked as in-use, making the SEQUENCE op
fail.

Fix this by making sure that the RQ_USEDEFERRAL flag is always
clear during nfs4svc_decode_compoundargs(), since no v4 request
should ever be deferred.

9abb354922 xdrgen: Improve parse error reporting
The current verbose Lark exception output makes it difficult to
quickly identify and fix syntax errors in XDR specifications. Users
must wade through hundreds of lines of cascading errors to find the
root cause.

Replace this with concise, compiler-style error messages showing
file, line, column, the unexpected token, and the source line with
a caret pointing to the error location.

Before:
  Unexpected token Token('__ANON_1', '+1') at line 14, column 35.
  Expected one of:
          * SEMICOLON
  Previous tokens: [Token('__ANON_0', 'LM_MAXSTRLEN')]
  [hundreds more cascading errors...]

After:
  file.x:14:35: parse error
  Unexpected number '+1'

      const LM_MAXNAMELEN = LM_MAXSTRLEN+1;
                                        ^

which could lead to unpredictable behavior when callers access

Remove the zero-length check and always call xdr_inline_decode().

of hand-coded XDR decoders throughout the kernel.

27e383ddeb nfsd: use workqueue enable/disable APIs for v4_end_grace sync

backporting to LTS kernels that predate commit 86898fa6b8
("workqueue: Implement disable/enable for (delayed) work items").

However, the workqueue subsystem in recent kernels provides
enable_delayed_work() and disable_delayed_work_sync() for this
purpose. Using this mechanism enable us to remove the
client_tracking_active flag and associated spinlock operations
while preserving the same synchronization guarantees, which is
a cleaner long-term approach.

0ac903d1bf NFS: NFSERR_INVAL is not defined by NFSv2
A documenting comment in include/uapi/linux/nfs.h claims incorrectly
that NFSv2 defines NFSERR_INVAL. There is no such definition in either
RFC 1094 or https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9629799/chap7.htm

NFS3ERR_INVAL is introduced in RFC 1813.

NFSD returns NFSERR_INVAL for PROC_GETACL, which has no
specification (yet).

However, nfsd_map_status() maps nfserr_symlink and nfserr_wrong_type
to nfserr_inval, which does not align with RFC 1094. This logic was
introduced only recently by commit 438f81e0e9 ("nfsd: move error
choice for incorrect object types to version-specific code."). Given
that we have no INVAL or SERVERFAULT status in NFSv2, probably the
only choice is NFSERR_IO.

87a6e3b6c4 xdrgen: improve error reporting for invalid void declarations
RFC 4506 defines void as a zero-length type that may appear only as
union arms or as program argument/result types. It cannot be declared
with an identifier, so constructs like "typedef void temp;" are not
valid XDR.

Previously, xdrgen raised a NotImplementedError when it encountered a
void declaration in a typedef. Which was misleading, as the problem is an
invalid RPC specification rather than missing functionality in xdrgen.

This patch replaces the NotImplementedError for _XdrVoid in typedef
handling with a clearer ValueError that specifies incorrect use of void
in the XDR input, making it clear that the issue lies in the RPC
specification being parsed.
