This will probably regress NFS export of (many) fuse servers that do not have FUSE_EXPORT_SUPPORT, even though you are right to point out that those NFS exports are of dubious quality. Not only can an NFS client get ESTALE for evicted fuse inodes, but it can also get a completely different object for the same file handle if that fuse server was restarted and re-exported to NFS. > > [1] https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/open_by_handle_at.2.html > > Signed-off-by: Jingbo Xu <jefflexu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > fs/fuse/inode.c | 4 ++++ > 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/fs/fuse/inode.c b/fs/fuse/inode.c > index 2a6d44f91729..9fed63be60fe 100644 > --- a/fs/fuse/inode.c > +++ b/fs/fuse/inode.c > @@ -1025,6 +1025,7 @@ static struct dentry *fuse_get_dentry(struct super_block *sb, > static int fuse_encode_fh(struct inode *inode, u32 *fh, int *max_len, > struct inode *parent) > { > + struct fuse_conn *fc = get_fuse_conn(inode); > int len = parent ? 6 : 3; > u64 nodeid; > u32 generation; > @@ -1034,6 +1035,9 @@ static int fuse_encode_fh(struct inode *inode, u32 *fh, int *max_len, > return FILEID_INVALID; > } > > + if (!fc->export_support) > + return -EOPNOTSUPP; > + > nodeid = get_fuse_inode(inode)->nodeid; > generation = inode->i_generation; > If you somehow find a way to mitigate the regression for NFS export of old fuse servers (maybe an opt-in Kconfig?), your patch is also going to regress AT_HANDLE_FID functionality, which can be used by fanotify to monitor fuse. AT_HANDLE_FID flag to name_to_handle_at(2) means that open_by_handle_at(2) is not supposed to be called on that fh. The correct way to deal with that would be something like this: +static const struct export_operations fuse_fid_operations = { + .encode_fh = fuse_encode_fh, +}; + static const struct export_operations fuse_export_operations = { .fh_to_dentry = fuse_fh_to_dentry, .fh_to_parent = fuse_fh_to_parent, @@ -1529,12 +1533,16 @@ static void fuse_fill_attr_from_inode(struct fuse_attr *attr, static void fuse_sb_defaults(struct super_block *sb) { + struct fuse_mount *fm = get_fuse_mount_super(sb); + sb->s_magic = FUSE_SUPER_MAGIC; sb->s_op = &fuse_super_operations; sb->s_xattr = fuse_xattr_handlers; sb->s_maxbytes = MAX_LFS_FILESIZE; sb->s_time_gran = 1; - sb->s_export_op = &fuse_export_operations; + if (fm->fc->export_support) + sb->s_export_op = &fuse_export_operations; + else + sb->s_export_op = &fuse_fid_operations; sb->s_iflags |= SB_I_IMA_UNVERIFIABLE_SIGNATURE; if (sb->s_user_ns != &init_user_ns) sb->s_iflags |= SB_I_UNTRUSTED_MOUNTER; --- This would make name_to_handle_at() without AT_HANDLE_FID fail and name_to_handle_at() with AT_HANDLE_FID to succeed as it should. Thanks, Amir.
