Description Mike Sager 2007-08-29 19:14:27 UTC
Description of problem:

When the NFS client sends a SETCLIENTID, the r_addr field contains only the 
port number.  The ip addr is null.  As a result, an NFS server can never grant 
a delegation to the NFS client.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Easy to reproduce.


Steps to Reproduce:

(while capturing a network trace)

1. Mount a filesystem using NFS v4
2. Create a file
3. Note the SETCLIENTID's r_addr field in the network trace.  There's no ip 
addr -- just a port number.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

This problem was introduced into the mainline kernel in 2.6.19-rc1.  It was 
fixed in 2.6.19-rc2.  RHEL5 includes the code that has the bug but not the code 
that has the fix.  The bug is in nfs/fs/client.c.

The 2.6.19-rc2 patch that fixes it is:

    [PATCH] nfs4: initialize cl_ipaddr
    
    David forgot to do this.  I'm not sure if this is the right place to put
    it....

    [PATCH] NFS: Fix NFSv4 callback regression
    
    The change in semantics for nfs_find_client() introduced by David breaks the
    NFSv4 callback channel.
    
    Also, replace another completely broken BUG_ON() in nfs_find_client().  In
    initialised clients, clp->cl_cons_state == 0, and callers of that function
    should in any case never want to see clients that are uninitialised.
