[RFC v3 0/3] VFS/NFS support to destroy FS credentials

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Allow a user to call into the file system and ask to destroy FS
credentials. For instance, when the user logs out after using
a kerberized NFS share, he destroys Kerberos credentials but NFS
credentials remain valid until the gss context expires. Allow
the user (or things like pam) to trigger destruction of such
credentials.

A userland application would do:

fd = open("/mnt", O_DIRECTORY|O_RDONLY);
syscall(_NR_destroy_creds, fd);

v2: fixing a hasty IS_DIR check, definition of __NR_destroy_creds
and order of the patches
 
v3: 
* changing error codes
  in VFS return ENOSYS for when destroy_creds is not defined
  in VFS return EBADF if file descriptor is wrong
  return 0 is success (before I had 1 as success and 0 as failure)
  in SUNRPC patch, when credentials are not found return ENOENT not
    EACCES
* including man page

Olga Kornievskaia (3):
  VFS adding destroy_creds call
  SUNRPC mark user credentials destroyed
  NFS define vfs destroy_creds functions
