# 195202 30-Jun-2009 dfr

Remove the old kernel RPC implementation and the NFS_LEGACYRPC option.

Approved by: re


# 184588 03-Nov-2008 dfr

Implement support for RPCSEC_GSS authentication to both the NFS client
and server. This replaces the RPC implementation of the NFS client and
server with the newer RPC implementation originally developed
(actually ported from the userland sunrpc code) to support the NFS
Lock Manager. I have tested this code extensively and I believe it is
stable and that performance is at least equal to the legacy RPC
implementation.

The NFS code currently contains support for both the new RPC
implementation and the older legacy implementation inherited from the
original NFS codebase. The default is to use the new implementation -
add the NFS_LEGACYRPC option to fall back to the old code. When I
merge this support back to RELENG_7, I will probably change this so
that users have to 'opt in' to get the new code.

To use RPCSEC_GSS on either client or server, you must build a kernel
which includes the KGSSAPI option and the crypto device. On the
userland side, you must build at least a new libc, mountd, mount_nfs
and gssd. You must install new versions of /etc/rc.d/gssd and
/etc/rc.d/nfsd and add 'gssd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf.

As long as gssd is running, you should be able to mount an NFS
filesystem from a server that requires RPCSEC_GSS authentication. The
mount itself can happen without any kerberos credentials but all
access to the filesystem will be denied unless the accessing user has
a valid ticket file in the standard place (/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>). There
is currently no support for situations where the ticket file is in a
different place, such as when the user logged in via SSH and has
delegated credentials from that login. This restriction is also
present in Solaris and Linux. In theory, we could improve this in
future, possibly using Brooks Davis' implementation of variant
symlinks.

Supporting RPCSEC_GSS on a server is nearly as simple. You must create
service creds for the server in the form 'nfs/<fqdn>@<REALM>' and
install them in /etc/krb5.keytab. The standard heimdal utility ktutil
makes this fairly easy. After the service creds have been created, you
can add a '-sec=krb5' option to /etc/exports and restart both mountd
and nfsd.

The only other difference an administrator should notice is that nfsd
doesn't fork to create service threads any more. In normal operation,
there will be two nfsd processes, one in userland waiting for TCP
connections and one in the kernel handling requests. The latter
process will create as many kthreads as required - these should be
visible via 'top -H'. The code has some support for varying the number
of service threads according to load but initially at least, nfsd uses
a fixed number of threads according to the value supplied to its '-n'
option.

# 159871 22-Jun-2006 mohans

Size the NFS server dupreq cache on the basis of nmbclusters. On servers
with low nmbclusters, we tie up too many mbclusters in the NFS duplicate
request cache. This change limits the size of the dupreq cache to 1/2
the nmbclusters (and flaots in a range of [64, 2048]).

# 158008 24-Apr-2006 mohans

Bump up the NFS server dupreq cache limit to 2K (from 64). With a small
duplicate request cache, under heavy load a lot of non-idempotent requests
were getting served again, resulting in errors.

# 127977 07-Apr-2004 imp

Alan Cox and Robert Watson.

# 83651 18-Sep-2001 peter

Cleanup and split of nfs client and server code.
This builds on the top of several repo-copies.


# 60938 26-May-2000 jake

Back out the previous change to the queue(3) interface.
It was not discussed and should probably not happen.

Requested by: msmith and others


# 60833 23-May-2000 jake

Change the way that the queue(3) structures are declared; don't assume that
the type argument to *_HEAD and *_ENTRY is a struct.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 36541 31-May-1998 peter

For the on-the-wire protocol, u_long -> u_int32_t; long -> int32_t;
int -> int32_t; u_short -> u_int16_t. Also, use mode_t instead of u_short
for storing modes (mode_t is a u_int16_t).

# 33058 03-Feb-1998 bde

Added #include of <sys/queue.h> so that this file is more "self"-sufficent.


# 26420 03-Jun-1997 dfr

Various fixes from NetBSD:

Use u_int for rpc procedure numbers.
Some fixes to NQNFS.
A rare NULL pointer dereference.
Ignore NFSMNT_NOCONN for TCP mounts.

# 22975 22-Feb-1997 peter

Back out part 1 of the MCFH that changed $Id$ to $FreeBSD$. We are not
ready for it yet.


# 22521 10-Feb-1997 dyson

This is the kernel Lite/2 commit. There are some requisite userland
changes, so don't expect to be able to run the kernel as-is (very well)
without the appropriate Lite/2 userland changes.

The system boots and can mount UFS filesystems.

Untested: ext2fs, msdosfs, NFS
Known problems: Incorrect Berkeley ID strings in some files.
Mount_std mounts will not work until the getfsent
library routine is changed.

# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 9336 27-Jun-1995 dfr

Changes to support version 3 of the NFS protocol.
The version 2 support has been tested (client+server) against FreeBSD-2.0,
IRIX 5.3 and FreeBSD-current (using a loopback mount). The version 2 support
is stable AFAIK.
The version 3 support has been tested with a loopback mount and minimally
against an IRIX 5.3 server. It needs more testing and may have problems.
I have patched amd to support the new variable length filehandles although
it will still only use version 2 of the protocol.

Before booting a kernel with these changes, nfs clients will need to at least
build and install /usr/sbin/mount_nfs. Servers will need to build and
install /usr/sbin/mountd.

NFS diskless support is untested.

# 3664 17-Oct-1994 phk

This is a bunch of changes from NetBSD. There are a couple of bug-fixes.
But mostly it is changes to use the list-maintenance macros instead of
doing the pointer-gymnastics by hand.
