Before traversing a referral and performing a mount, the mounted-on directory looks strange: dr-xr-xr-x. 2 4294967294 4294967294 0 Dec 31 1969 dir.0 nfs4_get_referral is wiping out any cached attributes with what was returned via GETATTR(fs_locations), but the bit mask for that operation does not request any file attributes. Retrieve owner and timestamp information so that the memcpy in nfs4_get_referral fills in more attributes. Changes since v1: - Don't request attributes that the client unconditionally replaces - Request only MOUNTED_ON_FILEID or FILEID attribute, not both - encode_fs_locations() doesn't use the third bitmask word Fixes: 6b97fd3da1ea ("NFSv4: Follow a referral") Suggested-by: Pradeep Thomas <pradeepthomas@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 18 ++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) --- a/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c +++ b/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c @@ -254,15 +254,12 @@ const u32 nfs4_fsinfo_bitmap[3] = { FATT }; const u32 nfs4_fs_locations_bitmap[3] = { - FATTR4_WORD0_TYPE - | FATTR4_WORD0_CHANGE + FATTR4_WORD0_CHANGE | FATTR4_WORD0_SIZE | FATTR4_WORD0_FSID | FATTR4_WORD0_FILEID | FATTR4_WORD0_FS_LOCATIONS, - FATTR4_WORD1_MODE - | FATTR4_WORD1_NUMLINKS - | FATTR4_WORD1_OWNER + FATTR4_WORD1_OWNER | FATTR4_WORD1_OWNER_GROUP | FATTR4_WORD1_RAWDEV | FATTR4_WORD1_SPACE_USED @@ -6777,9 +6774,7 @@ static int _nfs4_proc_fs_locations(struc struct page *page) { struct nfs_server *server = NFS_SERVER(dir); - u32 bitmask[3] = { - [0] = FATTR4_WORD0_FSID | FATTR4_WORD0_FS_LOCATIONS, - }; + u32 bitmask[3]; struct nfs4_fs_locations_arg args = { .dir_fh = NFS_FH(dir), .name = name, @@ -6798,12 +6793,15 @@ static int _nfs4_proc_fs_locations(struc dprintk("%s: start\n", __func__); + bitmask[0] = nfs4_fattr_bitmap[0] | FATTR4_WORD0_FS_LOCATIONS; + bitmask[1] = nfs4_fattr_bitmap[1]; + /* Ask for the fileid of the absent filesystem if mounted_on_fileid * is not supported */ if (NFS_SERVER(dir)->attr_bitmask[1] & FATTR4_WORD1_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID) - bitmask[1] |= FATTR4_WORD1_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID; + bitmask[0] &= ~FATTR4_WORD0_FILEID; else - bitmask[0] |= FATTR4_WORD0_FILEID; + bitmask[1] &= ~FATTR4_WORD1_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID; nfs_fattr_init(&fs_locations->fattr); fs_locations->server = server; Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-4.14/nfs-fix-ugly-referral-attributes.patch
