Yes, my patch is working as expected for me - I've been testing by doing something like the following: /path exported read-only to subnet 10.64.0.0/16 and read-write to *.web.example.com As the subnet export is matched before the wildcard match, then any client in the 10.64.0.0/16 subnet that also matches the wildcard won't get write access With the patch, I have /etc/exports containing: /path 10.64.0.0/16(ro) *.web.example.com(rw,priority=100) and then a client with an IP in the 10.64.0.0/16 subnet and a host name in *.web.example.com does get write access (tested by simply using touch to create a new file under the mount point on the client - using both NFSv3 and NFSv4 mounts) exportfs -v reports: /path 10.64.0.0/16(sync,wdelay,hide,no_subtree_check,sec=sys,ro,secure,root_squash,no_all_squash) /path *.web.example.com(sync,wdelay,hide,no_subtree_check,priority=100,sec=sys,rw,secure,root_squash,no_all_squash) I can do the same with an empty /etc/exports file and explicitly setting exports via exportfs (with and without priority settings etc) As yet, I haven't come across any combinations of using the priority option that didn't do as I expected e.g. adding or modifying exports from the cmdline with or without exports in /etc/exports I've also added netgroup and hostname exports to the mix - e.g. exporting to a single hostname with no_root_squash in the web.example.com domain: exportfs -o rw,no_root_squash host.web.example.com:/path In this case, the client doesn't get no_root_squash access to the mount point - as its priority (0) is less than the domain match for *.web.example.com (priority=100) - re-running the same exportfs with a priority higher than 100 and the client gets no_root_squash access So, I don't think any changes are needed to export_find() ? If this is OK, I'll submit a patch, including a suitable update to the export man page Thanks James Pearson > > diff --git a/support/export/auth.c b/support/export/auth.c > > index 2d7960f1..3d9e07b5 100644 > > --- a/support/export/auth.c > > +++ b/support/export/auth.c > > @@ -175,7 +175,7 @@ auth_authenticate_newcache(const struct sockaddr *caller, > > const char *path, struct addrinfo *ai, > > enum auth_error *error) > > { > > - nfs_export *exp; > > + nfs_export *exp, *found; > > int i; > > > > free(my_client.m_hostname); > > @@ -189,6 +189,7 @@ auth_authenticate_newcache(const struct sockaddr *caller, > > my_exp.m_client = &my_client; > > > > exp = NULL; > > + found = NULL; > > for (i = 0; !exp && i < MCL_MAXTYPES; i++) > > for (exp = exportlist[i].p_head; exp; exp = exp->m_next) { > > if (strcmp(path, exp->m_export.e_path)) > > @@ -198,8 +199,11 @@ auth_authenticate_newcache(const struct sockaddr *caller, > > if (exp->m_export.e_flags & NFSEXP_V4ROOT) > > /* not acceptable for v[23] export */ > > continue; > > - break; > > + /* we have a match - see if it is a higher priority */ > > + if (!found || exp->m_export.e_priority > > > found->m_export.e_priority) > > + found = exp; > > } > > + exp = found; > > *error = not_exported; > > if (!exp) > > return NULL; > > diff --git a/support/export/cache.c b/support/export/cache.c > > index 6c0a44a3..dfb0051b 100644 > > --- a/support/export/cache.c > > +++ b/support/export/cache.c > > @@ -877,6 +877,14 @@ static int nfsd_handle_fh(int f, char *bp, int blen) > > xlog(L_WARNING, "%s and %s have same > > filehandle for %s, using first", > > found_path, path, dom); > > } else { > > + /* same path, see if this one has a > > higher export priority */ > > + if (exp->m_export.e_priority > > > found->e_priority) { > > + found = &exp->m_export; > > + free(found_path); > > + found_path = strdup(path); > > + if (found_path == NULL) > > + goto out; > > + } > > /* same path, if one is V4ROOT, choose > > the other */ > > if (found->e_flags & NFSEXP_V4ROOT) { > > found = &exp->m_export; > > @@ -1178,6 +1186,12 @@ lookup_export(char *dom, char *path, struct addrinfo *ai) > > found_type = i; > > continue; > > } > > + /* see if this one has a higher export priority */ > > + if (exp->m_export.e_priority > > > found->m_export.e_priority) { > > + found = exp; > > + found_type = i; > > + continue; > > + } > > /* Always prefer non-V4ROOT exports */ > > if (exp->m_export.e_flags & NFSEXP_V4ROOT) > > continue; > > diff --git a/support/include/nfslib.h b/support/include/nfslib.h > > index eff2a486..ab22ecaf 100644 > > --- a/support/include/nfslib.h > > +++ b/support/include/nfslib.h > > @@ -99,6 +99,7 @@ struct exportent { > > unsigned int e_ttl; > > char * e_realpath; > > int e_reexport; > > + int e_priority; > > }; > > > > struct rmtabent { > > diff --git a/support/nfs/exports.c b/support/nfs/exports.c > > index a6816e60..afc139db 100644 > > --- a/support/nfs/exports.c > > +++ b/support/nfs/exports.c > > @@ -106,6 +106,7 @@ static void init_exportent (struct exportent *ee, > > int fromkernel) > > ee->e_uuid = NULL; > > ee->e_ttl = default_ttl; > > ee->e_reexport = REEXP_NONE; > > + ee->e_priority = 0; > > } > > > > struct exportent * > > @@ -374,6 +375,9 @@ putexportent(struct exportent *ep) > > fprintf(fp, "%d,", id[i]); > > } > > fprintf(fp, "anonuid=%d,anongid=%d", ep->e_anonuid, ep->e_anongid); > > + if (ep->e_priority) { > > + fprintf(fp, ",priority=%d", ep->e_priority); > > + } > > secinfo_show(fp, ep); > > xprtsecinfo_show(fp, ep); > > fprintf(fp, ")\n"); > > @@ -834,6 +838,14 @@ bad_option: > > setflags(NFSEXP_FSID, active, ep); > > > > saw_reexport = 1; > > + } else if (strncmp(opt, "priority=", 9) == 0) { > > + char *oe; > > + ep->e_priority = strtol(opt+9, &oe, 10); > > + if (opt[9]=='\0' || *oe != '\0') { > > + xlog(L_ERROR, "%s: %d: bad priority \"%s\"\n", > > + flname, flline, opt); > > + goto bad_option; > > + } > > } else { > > xlog(L_ERROR, "%s:%d: unknown keyword \"%s\"\n", > > flname, flline, opt); > > diff --git a/utils/exportfs/exportfs.c b/utils/exportfs/exportfs.c > > index b03a047b..5e6a64b6 100644 > > --- a/utils/exportfs/exportfs.c > > +++ b/utils/exportfs/exportfs.c > > @@ -753,6 +753,8 @@ dump(int verbose, int export_format) > > break; > > #endif > > } > > + if (ep->e_priority) > > + c = dumpopt(c, "priority=%d", ep->e_priority); > > secinfo_show(stdout, ep); > > xprtsecinfo_show(stdout, ep); > > printf("%c\n", (c != '(')?
