RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Steve Dickson 2015-09-25 15:49:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
Due to some recent changes to rpc.gssd, secure
NFS mount can hang in the gssproxy code. 

The changes to the rpc.gssd was to instead of
forking on every upcall, only for on non-root
upcalls. This means upcalls for mounts no 
longer forks. 

This bug fix is needed for bz 1264999 (which is a RHEL7.2 blocker)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gssproxy-0.4.1-6.el7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change rpc.gssd to only for on non-root upcalls
2. do 3 secure NFS mounts at the same time, a number of times

Comment 2 Steve Dickson 2015-09-25 16:44:07 UTC 
On almost, if not, every upcall these gssproxy messages are being logged:

(OID: { 1 2 840 113554 1 2 2 }) Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information, No credentials cache found

EINTR fix

Need ACKs for this fix.
Comment 10 Steve Dickson 2015-09-30 11:38:16 UTC 
The nfs-utils bits are already to go... committed/built/errata
so please make sure this makes into 7.2. If it does not all 
secure NFS mounts will be broken.
