get a reply of EEXIST from an NFS server when a Mkdir RPC was retried,
for an NFS over UDP mount.
Upon investigation, it was found that the client was retransmitting
the Mkdir RPC request over UDP, but with a different xid. As such,
the retransmitted message would miss the Duplicate Request Cache
in the server, causing it to reply EEXIST. The kernel client side
UDP rpc code has two timers. The first one causes a retransmit using
the same xid and socket and was set to a fixed value of 3seconds.
(The default can be overridden via CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT.)
The second one creates a new socket and xid and should be larger
than the first. However, both NFS clients were setting the second
timer to nm_timeo ("timeout=<value>" mount argument), which defaulted to
1second, so the first timer would never time out.
This patch fixes both NFS clients so that they set the first timer
using nm_timeo and makes the second timer larger than the first one.

bit (bit 31) set. No actual NFS error has this bit set, but it seems
that amd will sometimes do this. This patch makes sure the NFSERR_RETERR
bit is cleared to avoid a crash.

the NFS subsystems use five of the rpcsec_gss/kgssapi entry points,
but since it was not obvious which others might be useful, all
nineteen were included. Basically the nineteen entry points are
set in a structure called rpc_gss_entries and inline functions
defined in sys/rpc/rpcsec_gss.h check for the entry points being
non-NULL and then call them. A default value is returned otherwise.

remove the NFS server version in order to reduce code duplication.
The shared version now uses a second parameter how, which is passed
on to m_get(9) and m_getcl(9) as the server used M_WAIT while the
client requires M_DONTWAIT, and replaces the the previously unused
parameter hsiz.
- Change nfs_realign() to use nfsm_aligned() so as with other NFS code
the alignment check isn't actually performed on platforms without
strict alignment requirements for performance reasons because as the
comment suggests unaligned data only occasionally occurs with TCP.
- Change fha_extract_info() to use nfs_realign() with M_DONTWAIT rather
than M_WAIT because it's called with the RPC sp_lock held.

problems with the new RPC transport on the arm platform.
Note: this adds yet another copy of nfs_realign(). I will attempt to refactor
after NFS_LEGACYRPC is removed.

provider. The NFS client exposes 'start' and 'done' probes for NFSv2
and NFSv3 RPCs when using the new RPC implementation, passing in the
vnode, mbuf chain, credential, and NFSv2 or NFSv3 procedure number.
For 'done' probes, the error number is also available.
Probes are named in the following way:
...
nfsclient:nfs2:write:start
nfsclient:nfs2:write:done
...
nfsclient:nfs3:access:start
nfsclient:nfs3:access:done
...
Access to the unmarshalled arguments is not easily available at this
point in the stack, but the passed probe arguments are sufficient to
to a lot of interesting things in practice. Technically, these probes
may cover multiple RPC retransmits, and even transactions if the
transaction ID change as a result of authentication failure or a
jukebox error from the server, but usefully capture the intent of a
single NFS request, such as access, getattr, write, etc.
Typical use might involve profiling RPC latency by system call, number
of RPCs, how often a getattr leads to a call to access, when failed
access control checks occur, etc. More detailed RPC information might
best be provided by adding a krpc provider. It would also be useful
to add NFS client probes for events such as the access cache or
attribute cache satisfying requests without an RPC.

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.
