added 2011 year to the copyright line
added authors info to the license
added UofM license to libtirpc files that we modified
(but i probably missed some)
if we receive an rpc_autherr, just recreate a new rpc client as well
as the rpc auth structure. as it ties into the recovery and handles
that only one thread recovers and reestablishes the rpc auth context.
in theory, reestablishing rpc client does not necessitate new rpc auth
context. we really need to restablish one only if we get rpc autherr. however,
it simplifies the code not to introduce a different synchronization
mechanism for rpc auth in addition to the rpc one.
Basic handling of owner and group security query (no dacl).
Added new upcall for NFS41_ACL_QUERY (driver and daemon code).
Daemon, upon getting NFS41_ACL_QUERY first places a getattr that has
owner, group attribute request. We currently don't cache them!!!
Then, we parse nfs4name format (ie user@domain or group@domain)
into user and domain. We currently ignore domain part!!!
Then, we assume that whatever we are mapping is "known" locally
(ie LookupAccountName() api which retrieves a SID for a given name).
Mapping from name to SID can only be done in the userland. We then
copy the bytes via the upcall pipe to the kernel. If the received
user or group cant be mapped via LookupAccoundName(), we create a
well known null SID as the reply.
Kernel creates a security descriptor in the absolute-format and adds
owner and group sids to it. Important: RtlSetOwner/Group functions only
work with absolute-format security descriptor, however the reply to the
user needs to be in the self-relative format.
The way security query works is that it passes us a buffer to be filled
with the security context. However the user doesn't know how big the
buffer should be so, the user is allowed to pass a null buffer and have
the kernel return how much memory is needed. This leads to 2 security
queries => 2 NFS41_ACL_QUERY upcalls => 2 getattr rpcs... It should be
improved.
TODO:
- need to add caching of owner/group attributes for a file?
- need to add calls to LDAP for more general mapping?
- need to cache reply of the ACL if supplied length is 0?
