Sounds fine. The limits here are weird. In the v2 case the maximum length is NFS_MAXPATHLEN == 1024. OK, I see, I guess that limit was imposed by the NFSv2 protocol. In the v3 case it's NFS3_MAXPATHLEN == PATH_MAX == 4096. But we were imposing an artificial max of 4095 just so we could fit the result in one page with null termination. OK, makes sense to me (though I can't recall anyone actually complaining about that limit). --b. > > There will be two places where a transport callout will be necessary > to fill in the rqstp: one will be in the svc_fill_symlink_pathname() > helper that is used by NFSv2 and NFSv3, and the other will be in > nfsd4_decode_create(). > > Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c | 2 + > fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c | 2 + > include/linux/sunrpc/svc.h | 3 +- > net/sunrpc/svc.c | 67 ++++++++++++++++---------------------------- > 4 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c b/fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c > index 8d1c2d1a..9eb8086 100644 > --- a/fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c > +++ b/fs/nfsd/nfs3proc.c > @@ -290,6 +290,7 @@ > RETURN_STATUS(nfserr_nametoolong); > > argp->tname = svc_fill_symlink_pathname(rqstp, &argp->first, > + page_address(rqstp->rq_arg.pages[0]), > argp->tlen); > if (IS_ERR(argp->tname)) > RETURN_STATUS(nfserrno(PTR_ERR(argp->tname))); > @@ -303,6 +304,7 @@ > fh_init(&resp->fh, NFS3_FHSIZE); > nfserr = nfsd_symlink(rqstp, &resp->dirfh, argp->fname, argp->flen, > argp->tname, &resp->fh); > + kfree(argp->tname); > RETURN_STATUS(nfserr); > } > > diff --git a/fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c b/fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c > index a6faee5..0d20fd1 100644 > --- a/fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c > +++ b/fs/nfsd/nfsproc.c > @@ -454,6 +454,7 @@ > return nfserr_nametoolong; > > argp->tname = svc_fill_symlink_pathname(rqstp, &argp->first, > + page_address(rqstp->rq_arg.pages[0]), > argp->tlen); > if (IS_ERR(argp->tname)) > return nfserrno(PTR_ERR(argp->tname)); > @@ -466,6 +467,7 @@ > nfserr = nfsd_symlink(rqstp, &argp->ffh, argp->fname, argp->flen, > argp->tname, &newfh); > > + kfree(argp->tname); > fh_put(&argp->ffh); > fh_put(&newfh); > return nfserr; > diff --git a/include/linux/sunrpc/svc.h b/include/linux/sunrpc/svc.h > index 43f88bd..73e130a 100644 > --- a/include/linux/sunrpc/svc.h > +++ b/include/linux/sunrpc/svc.h > @@ -499,7 +499,8 @@ unsigned int svc_fill_write_vector(struct svc_rqst *rqstp, > struct page **pages, > struct kvec *first, size_t total); > char *svc_fill_symlink_pathname(struct svc_rqst *rqstp, > - struct kvec *first, size_t total); > + struct kvec *first, void *p, > + size_t total); > > #define RPC_MAX_ADDRBUFLEN (63U) > > diff --git a/net/sunrpc/svc.c b/net/sunrpc/svc.c > index 2194ed5..d13e05f 100644 > --- a/net/sunrpc/svc.c > +++ b/net/sunrpc/svc.c > @@ -1577,65 +1577,48 @@ unsigned int svc_fill_write_vector(struct svc_rqst *rqstp, struct page **pages, > * svc_fill_symlink_pathname - Construct pathname argument for VFS symlink call > * @rqstp: svc_rqst to operate on > * @first: buffer containing first section of pathname > + * @p: buffer containing remaining section of pathname > * @total: total length of the pathname argument > * > - * Returns pointer to a NUL-terminated string, or an ERR_PTR.
