From 75bc8821bd9ae76f2ffb92a46f7abdbb0aaa0536 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chuck Lever Date: Sat, 16 Mar 2013 15:55:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Handle missing rpc.gssd when looking up root FH When rpc.gssd is not running, any NFS operation that needs to use a GSS security flavor of course does not work. If looking up a server's root file handle results in an NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC, nfs4_find_root_sec() is called to try a bunch of security flavors until one works or all reasonable flavors have been tried. When rpc.gssd isn't running, this loop seems to fail immediately after rpcauth_create() craps out on the first GSS flavor. When the rpcauth_create() call in nfs4_lookup_root_sec() fails because rpc.gssd is not available, nfs4_lookup_root_sec() unconditionally returns -EIO. This prevents nfs4_find_root_sec() from retrying any other flavors; it drops out of its loop and fails immediately. Having nfs4_lookup_root_sec() return -EACCES instead allows nfs4_find_root_sec() to try all flavors in its list.
