<title>SUNRPC: Remove unused xdr functions</title>

<content type='text'>
Remove a bunch of unused xdr_*decode* functions:
  The last use of xdr_decode_netobj() was removed in 2021 by:
commit 7cf96b6d0104 ("lockd: Update the NLMv4 SHARE arguments decoder to
use struct xdr_stream")
  The last use of xdr_decode_string_inplace() was removed in 2021 by:
commit 3049e974a7c7 ("lockd: Update the NLMv4 FREE_ALL arguments decoder
to use struct xdr_stream")
  The last use of xdr_stream_decode_opaque() was removed in 2024 by:
commit fed8a17c61ff ("xdrgen: typedefs should use the built-in string and
opaque functions")

  The functions xdr_stream_decode_string() and
xdr_stream_decode_opaque_dup() were both added in 2018 by the
commit 0e779aa70308 ("SUNRPC: Add helpers for decoding opaque and string
types")
but never used.

Remove them.

and pages is always set to buf-&gt;pages.  Remove the two arguments and
hardcode the assignments.

<title>SUNRPC: Document validity guarantees of the pointer returned by reserve_space</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1196bdce3d107194dd15f508602871ffb7ff2d0b</id>
<content type='text'>
A subtlety of this API is that if the @nbytes region traverses a
page boundary, the next __xdr_commit_encode will shift the data item
in the XDR encode buffer. This makes the returned pointer point to
something else, leading to unexpected behavior.

There are a few cases where the caller saves the returned pointer
and then later uses it to insert a computed value into an earlier
part of the stream. This can be safe only if either:

 - the data item is guaranteed to be in the XDR buffer's head, and
   thus is not ever going to be near a page boundary, or
 - the data item is no larger than 4 octets, since XDR alignment
   rules require all data items to start on 4-octet boundaries

But that safety is only an artifact of the current implementation.
It would be less brittle if these "safe" uses were eventually
replaced.

bio_vecs, then send this array instead of iterating piecemeal over
the xdr_buf containing the outbound RPC message.

<content type='text'>
If the pages are in HIGHMEM then we need to make sure they're mapped
before trying to read data off of them, otherwise we could end up with a
NULL pointer dereference.

The downside to this is that we need an extra cleanup step at the end of
decode to kunmap() the last page. I introduced an xdr_finish_decode()
function to do this. Right now this function only calls the
unmap_current_page() function, but other generic cleanup steps could be
added in the future if we come across anything else.

<title>NFSD: Hoist rq_vec preparation into nfsd_read() [step two]</title>

<name>Chuck Lever</name>

<published>2023-05-18T17:46:03Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=703d7521555504b3a316b105b4806d641b7ebc76'/>
<id>urn:sha1:703d7521555504b3a316b105b4806d641b7ebc76</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that the preparation of an rq_vec has been removed from the
generic read path, nfsd_splice_read() no longer needs to reset
rq_next_page.

nfsd4_encode_read() calls nfsd_splice_read() directly. As far as I
can ascertain, resetting rq_next_page for NFSv4 splice reads is
unnecessary because rq_next_page is already set correctly.

Moreover, resetting it might even be incorrect if previous
operations in the COMPOUND have already consumed at least a page of
the send buffer. I would expect that the result would be encoding
the READ payload over previously-encoded results.

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
 "Two significant security enhancements are part of this release:

   - NFSD's RPC header encoding and decoding, including RPCSEC GSS and
     gssproxy header parsing, has been overhauled to make it more
     memory-safe.

   - Support for Kerberos AES-SHA2-based encryption types has been added
     for both the NFS client and server. This provides a clean path for
     deprecating and removing insecure encryption types based on DES and
     SHA-1. AES-SHA2 is also FIPS-140 compliant, so that NFS with
     Kerberos may now be used on systems with fips enabled.

  In addition to these, NFSD is now able to handle crossing into an
  auto-mounted mount point on an exported NFS mount. A number of fixes
  have been made to NFSD's server-side copy implementation.

  RPC metrics have been converted to per-CPU variables. This helps
  reduce unnecessary cross-CPU and cross-node memory bus traffic, and
  significantly reduces noise when KCSAN is enabled"
