Hi,
we have a userspace server which would allow user to access files using
his/her own credentials via UID mapping.
while we are running server as root user, but to in order to honor posix
mappings, we use setfsgid()/setfssid() before
accessing any file and restore them back to user access. However when we
try to ibv_reg_mr() EACCESS is returned.
We are ensuring to be root before we call to ibv_reg_mr(), yet it keeps
failing.
While going through libibverbs sources we realize EACCESS might be
returned by this call:
if (write(pd->context->cmd_fd, cmd, cmd_size) != cmd_size)
return errno;
As we are ensuring that setfsgid()/setfssid() are set to root before we
call to ibv_reg_mr(), why EACCESS is still returned?
Since these calls are thread specific only why it should affect entire
process?
Can anyone provide any insight into this behavior?
Thanks & Regards,
Vinit.
