From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>
This short series aims to prevent NFSD from returning
NFS4ERR_FILE_OPEN when an NFSv4 LINK, RENAME, or REMOVE operation
targets a directory. The only time the protocol spec permits a
server to return FILE_OPEN is when the target of the operation is a
file that is open and cannot be closed immediately to satisfy the
request.
I would have preferred these fixes go into NFSv4-specific sections
of NFSD, but the current structure of the code prevents doing that
while maintaining operational efficiency. Plus, these small patches
should be able to apply cleanly to LTS kernels.
We can defer deeper restructuring for later. For example,
fh_verify() could be made to return an errno instead of a generic
NFS status code; then the VFS utility functions in fs/nfsd/vfs.c
could be made to do the same, making their callers responsible for
the proper NFS version-specific translation of the errno into a
status code.
This series has been only compile tested. I'm posting early for
review and comment about this approach, but please do test these if
you have the ability to trigger -EBUSY easily.
Amir notes that NFSv4 OPEN is also affected. nfsd4_open() is a
pretty deep stack of code. If there are stack traces available, we
should be able to see where to start digging for errno leaks in
that operation.
Chuck Lever (4):
NFSD: nfsd_unlink() clobbers non-zero status returned from
fh_fill_pre_attrs()
NFSD: Never return NFS4ERR_FILE_OPEN when removing a directory
NFSD: Return NFS4ERR_FILE_OPEN only when renaming over an open file
NFSD: Return NFS4ERR_FILE_OPEN only when linking an open file
