Note too that I suspect there may also be a kernel error handling bug related to this. I know that nfsd_cross_mnt returned -ETIMEDOUT, but the READDIR response still contained the dentry. The follow-on stat call failed, but it seems like the readdir response shouldn't have included that dentry in the first place. I'm still looking at that bit, but we should probably aim to fix that too. > > > Reported-by: JianHong Yin <jiyin@xxxxxxxxxx> > > Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> > > --- > > support/junction/junction.c | 10 +++++----- > > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/support/junction/junction.c b/support/junction/junction.c > > index 41cce261cb52..0628bb0ffffb 100644 > > --- a/support/junction/junction.c > > +++ b/support/junction/junction.c > > @@ -63,7 +63,7 @@ junction_open_path(const char *pathname, int *fd) > > if (pathname == NULL || fd == NULL) > > return FEDFS_ERR_INVAL; > > > > - tmp = open(pathname, O_DIRECTORY); > > + tmp = open(pathname, O_PATH|O_DIRECTORY); > > if (tmp == -1) { > > switch (errno) { > > case EPERM: > > @@ -93,7 +93,7 @@ junction_is_directory(int fd, const char *path) > > { > > struct stat stb; > > > > - if (fstat(fd, &stb) == -1) { > > + if (fstatat(fd, "", &stb, AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT|AT_EMPTY_PATH) == -1) { > > xlog(D_GENERAL, "%s: failed to stat %s: %m", > > __func__, path); > > return FEDFS_ERR_ACCESS; > > @@ -121,7 +121,7 @@ junction_is_sticky_bit_set(int fd, const char *path) > > { > > struct stat stb; > > > > - if (fstat(fd, &stb) == -1) { > > + if (fstatat(fd, "", &stb, AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT|AT_EMPTY_PATH) == -1) { > > xlog(D_GENERAL, "%s: failed to stat %s: %m", > > __func__, path); > > return FEDFS_ERR_ACCESS; > > @@ -155,7 +155,7 @@ junction_set_sticky_bit(int fd, const char *path) > > { > > struct stat stb; > > > > - if (fstat(fd, &stb) == -1) { > > + if (fstatat(fd, "", &stb, AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT|AT_EMPTY_PATH) == -1) { > > xlog(D_GENERAL, "%s: failed to stat %s: %m", > > __func__, path); > > return FEDFS_ERR_ACCESS; > > @@ -393,7 +393,7 @@ junction_get_mode(const char *pathname, mode_t *mode) > > if (retval != FEDFS_OK) > > return retval; > > > > - if (fstat(fd, &stb) == -1) { > > + if (fstatat(fd, "", &stb, AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT|AT_EMPTY_PATH) == -1) { > > xlog(D_GENERAL, "%s: failed to stat %s: %m", > > __func__, pathname); > > (void)close(fd); > > -- > > 2.38.1 > > > > -- > Chuck Lever > > > -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>
