Yep, 4294967295 is (u32)(-1), so it's this uid_valid check in unix_gid_parse that we're hitting. I'm not even sure whether it makes sense to be doing this upcall to ask for supplemental groups in the -1 case. Going with the minimal fix for now. Oh, and oops, it should go to stable to--adding that Cc: to my local copy of the patch. --b. commit 8efb88340e29293e05f6b498b60596884c05a8a8 Author: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 8 13:44:45 2013 -0400 svcrpc: fix failures to handle -1 uid's As of f025adf191924e3a75ce80e130afcd2485b53bb8 "sunrpc: Properly decode kuids and kgids in RPC_AUTH_UNIX credentials" any rpc containing a -1 (0xffff) uid or gid would fail with a badcred error. Commit afe3c3fd5392b2f0066930abc5dbd3f4b14a0f13 "svcrpc: fix failures to handle -1 uid's and gid's" fixed part of the problem, but overlooked the gid upcall--the kernel can request supplementary gid's for the -1 uid, but mountd's attempt write a response will get -EINVAL. Symptoms were nfsd failing to reply to the first attempt to use a newly negotiated krb5 context.
