* statd: Support IPv6 in sm_simu_crash_1_svcChuck Lever2010-01-151-16/+19
| | | | | | | Ensure that SM_SIMU_CRASH does not allow non-AF_INET callers to bypass the localhost check. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
* statd: Support IPv6 is caller_is_localhost()Chuck Lever2010-01-151-11/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For the time being, statd is not going to support receiving SM_MON calls from the local lockd via IPv6. However, the upcalls (SM_MON, etc.) from the local lockd arrive on the same socket that receives calls from remote peers. Thus caller_is_localhost() at least has to be smart enough to notice that the caller is not AF_INET, and to display non-AF_INET addresses appropriately.

* statd: add IPv6 support in sm_notify_1_svc()Chuck Lever2010-01-151-7/+62
| | | | | | | | | | We have all the pieces in place, so update sm_notify_1_svc() to handle SM_NOTIFY requests sent from IPv6 remotes. This also eliminates a memory leak: the strdup'd memory containing the callers' presentation address was never freed. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
* statd: add nsm_present_address() APIChuck Lever2010-01-152-0/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add an API to convert a socket address to a presentation address string. This is used for displaying error messages and the like. We prefer getnameinfo(3) over inet_?to?(3) as it supports IPv6 scope IDs. Since statd has to continue to build correctly on systems whose glibc does not have getnameinfo(3), an inet_?to?(3) version is also provided. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
* statd: Introduce statd version of matchhostname()Chuck Lever2010-01-156-12/+129
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the near future, statd will support IPv6 but exportfs will not. Thus statd will need a version of matchhostname() that can deal properly with IPv6 remotes. To reduce the risk of breaking exportfs, introduce a separate version of matchhostname() for statd to use while exportfs continues to use the existing AF_INET-only implementation. Note that statd will never send matchhostname() a hostname string containing export wildcards, so is_hostame() is not needed in the statd version of matchhostname(). This saves some computational expense when comparing hostnames. A separate statd-specific implementation of matchhostname() allows some flexibility in the long term, as well. We might want to enrich the matching heuristics of our SM_NOTIFY, for example, or replace them entirely with a heuristic that is not dependent upon DNS.

* nfs-utils: Collect socket address helpers into one locationChuck Lever2010-01-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce generic helpers for managing socket addresses. These are general enough that they are useful for pretty much any component of nfs-utils. We also include the definition of nfs_sockaddr here, so it can be shared. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448743 Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
* sm-notify: Support IPv6 DNS lookups in smn_lookupChuck Lever2010-01-151-7/+12

* sm-notify: Use getaddrinfo(3) to create bind address in smn_create_socket()Chuck Lever2010-01-151-31/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch updates the "bind to a user-specified port" arm of smn_create_socket() so it can deal with IPv6 bind addresses. A single getaddrinfo(3) call can convert a user-specified bind address or hostname to a socket address, optionally plant a provided port number, or whip up an appropriate wildcard address for use as the main socket's bind address.

* sm-notify: Support creating a PF_INET6 socket in smn_create_socket()Chuck Lever2010-01-151-5/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Socket creation is unfortunately complicated by the need to handle the case where sm-notify is built with IPv6 support, but the local system has disabled it entirely at run-time (ie, socket(3) returns EAFNOSUPPORT when we try to create an AF_INET6 socket). The run-time address family setting is made available in the global variable nsm_family. This setting can control the family of the socket's bind address and what kind of addresses we want returned by smn_lookup(). Support for that is added in subsequent patches.

* sm-notify: factor socket creation out of notify()Chuck Lever2010-01-151-60/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | The top half of the notify() function creates the main socket that sm-notify uses to do its job. To make adding IPv6 support simpler, refactor that piece into a separate function. The logic is modified slightly so that exit(3) is invoked only in main(). This is not required, but it makes the code slightly easier to understand and maintain. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
* statd: Update rmtcall.cChuck Lever2010-01-152-138/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | Replace the open code to construct NLM downcalls and PMAP_GETPORT RPC requests with calls to our new library routines. This clean up removes redundant code in rmtcall.c, and enables the possibility of making NLM downcalls via IPv6 transports. We won't support that for a long while, however.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the open code to construct SM_NOTIFY and PMAP_GETPORT RPC requests with calls to our new library routines that support IPv6 and RPCB_GETADDR as well. This change allows sm-notify to send RPCB_GETADDR, but it won't do that until the main sm-notify socket supports PF_INET6 and the DNS resolution logic is updated to return IPv6 addresses.

* libnsm.a: Move the sm_inter XDR pieces to libnsm.aChuck Lever2009-12-232-142/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up: Move the .x file and the generated C source for NSM to libnsm.a, echoing the architecture of mountd and exportfs. This makes the NSM protocol definitions, data types, and XDR routines available to be shared across nfs-utils. This simplifies the addition of other NSM-related code (for example for testing or providing clustering support), and also provides public data type definitions that can be used to make sense of the contents of statd's on-disk database. Because sim_sm_inter.x still resides in utils/statd, I've left some rpcgen build magic in utils/statd/Makefile.am. This is an internal organization change only. This patch should not affect code behavior in any way. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com>

* sm-notify: Failed DNS lookups should be retriedChuck Lever2009-05-181-12/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, if getaddrinfo(3) fails when trying to resolve a hostname, sm-notify gives up immediately on that host. If sm-notify is started before network service is available on a system, that means it quits without notifying anyone. Or, if DNS service isn't available due to a network partition or because the DNS server crashed, sm-notify will simply remove all of its callback files and exit. Really, sm-notify should try harder. We know that the hostnames passed in to notify_host() have already been vetted by statd, which won't monitor a hostname that it can't resolve. So it's likely that any DNS failure we meet here is a temporary condition. If it isn't, then sm-notify will stop trying to notify that host in 15 minutes anyway. [ The host's file is left in /var/lib/nfs/sm.bak in this case, but sm.bak is not read again until the next time sm-notify runs. ] sm-notify already has retry logic for handling RPC timeouts. We can co-opt that to drive DNS resolution retries. We also add AI_ADDRCONFIG because on systems whose network startup is handled by NetworkManager, there appears to be a bug that causes processes that started calling getaddinfo(3) before the network came up to continue getting EAI_AGAIN even after the network is fully operating. As I understand it, legacy glibc (before AI_ADDRCONFIG was exposed in headers) sets AI_ADDRCONFIG by default, although I haven't checked this. In any event, pre-glibc-2.2 systems probably won't run NetworkManager anyway, so this may not be much of a problem for them.

* sm-notify: Don't orphan addrinfo structsChuck Lever2009-05-181-13/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sm-notify orphans an addrinfo struct in its address list rotation logic if only a single result was returned from getaddrinfo(3). For each host, the first time through notify_host(), we want to send a PMAP_GETPORT request. ->ai is NULL, and retries is set to 100, forcing a DNS lookup and an address rotation. If only a single addrinfo struct is returned, the rotation logic causes a NULL to be planted in ->ai, copied from the ai_next field of the returned result. This means that the second time through notify_host() (to perform the actual SM_NOTIFY call) we do a second DNS lookup, since ->ai is NULL. The result of the first lookup has been orphaned, and extra network traffic is generated. This scenario is actually fairly common. Since we pass .ai_protocol = IPPROTO_UDP, to getaddrinfo(3), for most hosts, which have a single forward and reverse pointer in the DNS database, we get back a single addrinfo struct as a result. To address this problem, only perform the address list rotation if there is more than one element on the list returned by getaddrinfo(3).

* statd: not unlinking host filesSteve Dickson2008-12-173-17/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Statd is not unlinking host files during SM_UNMON and SM_UNMON_ALL calls because the given host is still on the run-time notify list (rtnl) and the check flag is set when xunlink() is called. But the next thing the caller of xunlink() does is remove the host from the rtnl list which means the unlink will never happen. So this patch removes the check flag from xunlink() since its not needed and correctly allocates and frees memory used by xunlink(). Signed-off-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com>
* sm-notify command: fix a use-after-free bugChuck Lever2008-12-171-11/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The recv_reply() function was referencing host->ai in a freeaddrinfo(3) call after it had freed @host. This is not likely to be harmful in a single-threaded user context, but it's still bad form, and it will get called out if testing sm-notify with poisoned free memory.

* Ensure statd gets started if required when non-rootNeil Brown2008-11-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | user mounts an NFS filesystem. The first time an NFS filesystem is mounted, we start statd from /sbin/mount.nfs. If this first time is a non-root user doing the mount, (thanks to e.g. the 'users' option in /etc/fstab) then we need to be sure that the 'setuid' status from mount.nfs is inherited through to rpc.statd so that it runs as root. There are two places where we loose our setuid status due to the shell (/bin/sh) discarding. 1/ mount.nfs uses "system" to run /usr/sbin/start-statd. This runs a shell which is likely to drop privileges. So change that code to use 'fork' and 'execl' explicitly. 2/ start-statd is a shell script. To convince the shell to allow the program to run in privileged mode, we need to add a "-p" flag. We could just call setuid(getuid()) at some appropriate time, and it might be worth doing that as well, however I think that getting rid of 'system()' is a good idea and once that is done, the adding of '-p' is trivial and sufficient.

* rpc.statd: Stop overloading sockfd in utils/statd/rmtcall.cChuck Lever2008-09-263-14/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Linux kernel's lockd requires that rpc.statd perform notification callbacks from a privileged source port. To guarantee rpc.statd gets a privileged source port but runs unprivileged, it calls statd_get_socket() then drops root privileges before starting it's svc request processing loop. Statd's svc request loop is the only caller of the process_foo() functions in utils/statd/rmtcall.c, but one of them, process_notify_list() attempts to invoke statd_get_socket() again. In today's code, this is unneeded because statd_get_socket() is always invoked before my_svc_run(). However, if it ever succeeded, it would get an unprivileged source port anyway, causing the kernel to reject all subsequent requests from statd. Thus the process_notify_list() function should not ever call statd_get_socket() because root privileges have been dropped by this point, and statd_get_socket() wouldn't get a privileged source port, causing the kernel to reject all subsequent SM_NOTIFY requests. So all of the process_foo functions in utils/statd/rmtcall.c should use the global sockfd instead of a local copy, as it already has a privileged source port. I've seen some unexplained behavior where statd starts making calls to the kernel via an unprivileged port. This could be one way that might occur.

Also, if sm-notify exits prematurely, make sure this is always reported at the LOG_ERR level, not at the LOG_WARNING level. Remove a couple of unnecessary '\n' in the arguments of nsm_log() calls -- nsm_log() already appends an '\n' to the message. Finally, use exit() consistently in main().

There is no need. For sockets that we send messages on, that are long-lived, and that might need to appear 'privileged', avoid using a number that is registered in /etc/services if possible.
