[PATCH v4] kernel: make groups_sort calling a responsibility group_info allocators

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

 



In testing, we found that nfsd threads may call set_groups in parallel for
the same entry cached in auth.unix.gid, racing in the call of groups_sort,
corrupting the groups for that entry and leading to permission denials for
the client.

This patch:
 - Make groups_sort globally visible.
 - Move the call to groups_sort to the modifiers of group_info
 - Remove the call to groups_sort from set_groups
