* support: Introduce sockaddr helpers to get and set IP port numbersChuck Lever2009-07-141-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | Introduce address family-agnostic functions that get and set IP port numbers in socket addresses. We can already replace a few similar functions in the mount command, and a few more will come up with statd and sm-notify.

* getport: Clear shared error fields before trying rpcbind queriesChuck Lever2009-07-141-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | Some RPC errors set fields in rpc_createerr.cf_error in addition to cf_stat. Be sure to clear _all_ error fields in rpc_createerr each time through the rpcbind API. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com>
* getport: Remove unneeded @salen argumentsChuck Lever2009-07-141-3/+1
| | | | | | | | Clean up: Now that getnameinfo(3) is no longer used, the @salen argument to nfs_sockaddr2universal() is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com>
* support: Provide an API for creating a privileged RPC clientChuck Lever2009-04-181-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We needed to guarantee that some RPC programs, such as PMAP, got an unprivileged port, to prevent exhausting the local privileged port space sending RPC requests that don't need such privileges. nfs_get_rpcclient() provides that feature. However, some RPC programs, such as MNT and UMNT, require a privileged port. So, let's provide an additional API for this that also supports IPv6 and setting a destination port.

* nfs-utils: Replace getservbyname(3)Chuck Lever2009-03-051-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | The getservbyname(3) function is not re-entrant, and anyway, the man page says it is obsolete. Replace it with a call to getaddrinfo(3). Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com>
* Introduce rpcbind client utility functionsChuck Lever2008-11-171-0/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that at least the mount command and the showmount command need to query a server's rpcbind daemon. They need to query over AF_INET6 as well as AF_INET. libtirpc provides an rpcbind query capability with the rpcb_getaddr(3) interface, but it takes a hostname and netconfig entry rather than a sockaddr and a protocol type, and always uses a lengthy timeout. The former is important to the mount command because it sometimes must operate using a specific port and IP address rather than depending on rpcbind and DNS to convert a [hostname, RPC program, netconfig] tuple to a [socket address, port number, transport protocol] tuple. The rpcb_getaddr(3) API also always uses a privileged port (at least for setuid root executables like mount.nfs), which is not required for an rpcbind query. This can exhaust the local system's reserved port space quickly. This patch provides a reserved-port-friendly AF_INET6-capable rpcbind query C API that can be shared among commands and tools in nfs-utils, and allows a query to a specified socket address and port rather than a hostname. In addition to an rpcbind query interface, this patch also provides a facility to ping the remote RPC service to ensure that it is operating as advertised by rpcbind. It's useful to combine an RPC ping with an rpcbind query because in many cases, components of nfs-utils already ping an RPC service immediately after receiving a successful GETPORT result. There are also a handful of utility routines provided, such as a functions that can map between [sockaddr, port] and a universal address. I've made an attempt to make these new functions build and operate on systems that do not have libtirpc.

* Add AF_INET6-capable API to acquire an RPC CLIENT *Chuck Lever2008-11-171-0/+70
Provide a simple interface that any component of nfs-utils can use to acquire an RPC CLIENT *. This is an AF_INET6-enabled API, and can also handle PF_LOCAL sockets if libtirpc is present on the system. When libtirpc is not available, legacy RPC services will be used instead, and an attempt to connect to an AF_INET6 address will fail.
