For NFSv4 minor version 0, currently the cl_id_uniquifier allows the Linux client to generate a unique nfs_client_id4 string whenever a server replies with NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE. This implementation seems to be based on a flawed reading of RFC 3530. NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE actually means that the client has presented this nfs_client_id4 string with a different principal at some time in the past, and that lease is still in use on the server. For a Linux client this might be rather difficult to achieve: the authentication flavor is named right in the nfs_client_id4.id string. If we change flavors, we change strings automatically. So, practically speaking, NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE means there is some other client using our string. There is not much that can be done to recover automatically. Let's make it a permanent error. Remove the recovery logic in nfs4_proc_setclientid(), and remove the cl_id_uniquifier field from the nfs_client data structure. And, remove the authentication flavor from the nfs_client_id4 string. Keeping the authentication flavor in the nfs_client_id4.id string means that we could have a separate lease for each authentication flavor used by mounts on the client. But we want just one lease for all the mounts on this client. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> |
