[PATCH 4.9 088/223] NFSv4: Handle the special Linux file open access mode

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Aug 02 2019 - 05:44:46 EST


From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 44942b4e457beda00981f616402a1a791e8c616e upstream.

According to the open() manpage, Linux reserves the access mode 3
to mean "check for read and write permission on the file and return
a file descriptor that can't be used for reading or writing."

Currently, the NFSv4 code will ask the server to open the file,
and will use an incorrect share access mode of 0. Since it has
an incorrect share access mode, the client later forgets to send
a corresponding close, meaning it can leak stateids on the server.
