open a file in 0100444 mode in NFSv4 may fail

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

 



Hello,

I just discovered a problem with NFSv4 file system. I was using TCL
scripts that were doing some file manipulation (mkdir, copy, ...) on
my NFSv4 file system and sometimes the scripts failed with "permission
denied" error.

I ran strace and I found that the system call returning the error was:
open("d1/in.txt", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0100444) = -1 EACCES
(Permission denied)

And indeed the error was happening only when TCL wanted to copy files
where permission were 444 (user don't have write permission).

You can reproduce the error with the small C code attached. I tested
with a fresh install of xubuntu 16.04 for both NFS client and NFS
server and it fails. You can find all the logs and the version info
attached.

It seems that the error is not happening when we are using mode = 444
instead of mode = 0100444 (no S_IFREG flag).

It seems a bug in NFS to me since it doesn't happen in NFSv3, and the
error is random with NFSv4. Also I found that the error doesn't happen
at all with NFSv4 if both server and client are on Ubuntu 14.04.

Let me know if you need more information. Also let me know if I should
open a bug on kernel bugzilla.

Thank you.

Regards.

Thomas.
