      NFS: add "[no]resvport" mount option · d740351b
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      The standard default security setting for NFS is AUTH_SYS.  An NFS
      client connects to NFS servers via a privileged source port and a
      fixed standard destination port (2049).  The client sends raw uid and
      gid numbers to identify users making NFS requests, and the server
      assumes an appropriate authority on the client has vetted these
      values because the source port is privileged.
      
      On Linux, by default in-kernel RPC services use a privileged port in
      the range between 650 and 1023 to avoid using source ports of well-
      known IP services.  Using such a small range limits the number of NFS
      mount points and the number of unique NFS servers to which a client
      can connect concurrently.
      
      An NFS client can use unprivileged source ports to expand the range of
      source port numbers, allowing more concurrent server connections and
      more NFS mount points.  Servers must explicitly allow NFS connections
      from unprivileged ports for this to work.
      
      In the past, bumping the value of the sunrpc.max_resvport sysctl on
      the client would permit the NFS client to use unprivileged ports.
      Bumping this setting also changes the maximum port number used by
      other in-kernel RPC services, some of which still required a port
      number less than 1023.
      
      This is exacerbated by the way source port numbers are chosen by the
      Linux RPC client, which starts at the top of the range and works
      downwards.  It means that bumping the maximum means all RPC services
      requesting a source port will likely get an unprivileged port instead
      of a privileged one.
      
      Changing this setting effects all NFS mount points on a client.  A
      sysadmin could not selectively choose which mount points would use
      non-privileged ports and which could not.
      
      Lastly, this mechanism of expanding the limit on the number of NFS
      mount points was entirely undocumented.
      
      To address the need for the NFS client to use a large range of source
      ports without interfering with the activity of other in-kernel RPC
      services, we introduce a new NFS mount option.  This option explicitly
      tells only the NFS client to use a non-privileged source port when
      communicating with the NFS server for one specific mount point.
      
      This new mount option is called "resvport," like the similar NFS mount
      option on FreeBSD and Mac OS X.  A sister patch for nfs-utils will be
      submitted that documents this new option in nfs(5).
      
      The default setting for this new mount option requires the NFS client
      to use a privileged port, as before.  Explicitly specifying the
      "noresvport" mount option allows the NFS client to use an unprivileged
      source port for this mount point when connecting to the NFS server
      port.
      
      This mount option is supported only for text-based NFS mounts.
      
      [ Sidebar: it is widely known that security mechanisms based on the
        use of privileged source ports are ineffective.  However, the NFS
        client can combine the use of unprivileged ports with the use of
        secure authentication mechanisms, such as Kerberos.  This allows a
        large number of connections and mount points while ensuring a useful
        level of security.
      
        Eventually we may change the default setting for this option
        depending on the security flavor used for the mount.  For example,
        if the mount is using only AUTH_SYS, then the default setting will
        be "resvport;" if the mount is using a strong security flavor such
        as krb5, the default setting will be "noresvport." ]

      NFS: move nfs_server flag initialization · 542fcc33
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      Make it possible for the NFSv4 mount set up logic to pass mount option
      flags down the stack to nfs_create_rpc_client().
      
      This is immediately useful if we want NFS mount options to modulate
      settings of the underlying RPC transport, but it may be useful at some
      later point if other parts of the NFSv4 mount initialization logic
      want to know what the mount options are.

      NFS: expand flags passed to nfs_create_rpc_client() · 4a01b8a4
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      The nfs_create_rpc_client() function sets up an RPC client for an NFS
      mount point.  Add an option that allows it to set up an RPC transport
      from an unprivileged port.
      
      Instead of having nfs_create_rpc_client()'s callers retain local
      knowledge about how to set up an RPC client, create a couple of flag
      arguments to control the use of RPC_CLNT_CREATE flags.

      NFS: Save the values of the "mount*=" mount options · 3f8400d1
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      Save the value of the mountproto= mountport= mountvers= and mountaddr=
      options so that these values can be displayed later via
      nfs_show_options().
      
      This preserves the intent of the original mount options, should the file
      system need to be remounted based on what's displayed in /proc/mounts.

      NFS: Save the value of the "port=" mount option · f22d6d79
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      During a remount based on the mount options displayed in /proc/mounts, we
      want to preserve the original behavior of the mount request.  Let's save
      the original setting of the "port=" mount option in the mount's nfs_server
      structure.
      
      This allows us to simplify the default behavior of port setting for NFSv4
      mounts: by default, NFSv2/3 mounts first try an RPC bind to determine the
      NFS server's port, unless the user specified the "port=" mount option;
      Users can force the client to skip the RPC bind by explicitly specifying
      "port=<value>".
      
      NFSv4, by contrast, assumes the NFS server port is 2049 and skips the RPC
      bind, unless the user specifies "port=".  Users can force an RPC bind for
      NFSv4 by explicitly specifying "port=0".
      
      I added a couple of extra comments to clarify this behavior.
