[ Upstream commit 99bbf6ecc694dfe0b026e15359c5aa2a60b97a93 ]
consider the sequence of commands: mkdir -p /import/nfs /import/bind /import/etc mount --bind / /import/bind mount --make-private /import/bind mount --bind /import/etc /import/bind/etc
exportfs -o rw,no_root_squash,crossmnt,async,no_subtree_check localhost:/ mount -o vers=4 localhost:/ /import/nfs ls -l /import/nfs/etc
You would not expect this to report a stale file handle. Yet it does.
The manipulations under /import/bind cause the dentry for /etc to get the DCACHE_MOUNTED flag set, even though nothing is mounted on /etc. This causes nfsd to call nfsd_cross_mnt() even though there is no mountpoint. So an upcall to mountd for "/etc" is performed.
The 'crossmnt' flag on the export of / causes mountd to report that /etc is exported as it is a descendant of /. It assumes the kernel wouldn't ask about something that wasn't a mountpoint. The filehandle returned identifies the filesystem and the inode number of /etc.
When this filehandle is presented to rpc.mountd, via "nfsd.fh", the inode cannot be found associated with any name in /etc/exports, or with any mountpoint listed by getmntent(). So rpc.mountd says the filehandle doesn't exist. Hence ESTALE.
This is fixed by teaching nfsd not to trust DCACHE_MOUNTED too much. It is just a hint, not a guarantee. Change nfsd_mountpoint() to return '1' for a certain mountpoint, '2' for a possible mountpoint, and 0 otherwise.
Then change nfsd_crossmnt() to check if follow_down() actually found a mountpount and, if not, to avoid performing a lookup if the location is not known to certainly require an export-point.
