The client would request a OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE open, and the server
would hand out a write delegation. The client would then try to use that
write delegation as the source stateid in a COPY
not sure why the client opens the source file of a COPY operation with
OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE?
It doesn't. The original open is to write the data for the file being
copied. It then opens the file again for READ, but since it has a write
delegation, it doesn't need to talk to the server at all -- it can just
use that stateid for later operations.
or CLONE operation, and
the server would respond with NFS4ERR_STALE.
If the server does not allow client to use write delegation for the
READ, should the correct error return be NFS4ERR_OPENMODE?
The server must allow the client to use a write delegation for read
operations. It's required by the spec, AFAIU.
The error in this case was just bogus. The vfs copy routine would return
-EBADF since the file didn't have FMODE_READ, and the nfs server would
translate that into NFS4ERR_STALE.
Probably there is a better v4 error code that we could translate EBADF
to, but with this patch it shouldn't be a problem any longer.
The problem is that the struct file associated with the delegation does
not necessarily have read permissions. It's handing out a write
delegation on what is effectively an O_WRONLY open. RFC 8881 states:
"An OPEN_DELEGATE_WRITE delegation allows the client to handle, on its
own, all opens."
Given that the client didn't request any read permissions, and that nfsd
didn't check for any, it seems wrong to give out a write delegation.
Only hand out a write delegation if we have a O_RDWR descriptor
available. If it fails to find an appropriate write descriptor, go
ahead and try for a read delegation if NFS4_SHARE_ACCESS_READ was
requested.
This fixes xfstest generic/001.

Changes in v2:
- Rework the logic when finding struct file for the delegation. The
earlier patch might still have attached a O_WRONLY file to the deleg
in some cases, and could still have handed out a write delegation on
an O_WRONLY OPEN request in some cases.

Does this mean OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE do not get a write delegation?
It does not seem right.

Why? Per RFC 8881:
"An OPEN_DELEGATE_WRITE delegation allows the client to handle, on its
own, all opens."
All opens. That includes read opens.
An OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE open will succeed on a file to which the
user has no read permissions. Therefore, we can't grant a write
delegation since can't guarantee that the user is allowed to do that.
If the server grants the write delegation on an OPEN with
OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE on the file with WR-only access mode then
why can't the server checks and denies the subsequent READ?
Per RFC 8881, section 9.1.2:
For delegation stateids, the access mode is based on the type of
delegation.
When a READ, WRITE, or SETATTR (that specifies the size attribute)
operation is done, the operation is subject to checking against the
access mode to verify that the operation is appropriate given the
stateid with which the operation is associated.
In the case of WRITE-type operations (i.e., WRITEs and SETATTRs that
set size), the server MUST verify that the access mode allows writing
and MUST return an NFS4ERR_OPENMODE error if it does not. In the case
of READ, the server may perform the corresponding check on the access
mode, or it may choose to allow READ on OPENs for OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE,
to accommodate clients whose WRITE implementation may unavoidably do
reads (e.g., due to buffer cache constraints). However, even if READs
are allowed in these circumstances, the server MUST still check for
locks that conflict with the READ (e.g., another OPEN specified
OPEN4_SHARE_DENY_READ or OPEN4_SHARE_DENY_BOTH). Note that a server
that does enforce the access mode check on READs need not explicitly
check for conflicting share reservations since the existence of OPEN
for OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_READ guarantees that no conflicting share
reservation can exist.
FWIW, The Solaris server grants write delegation on OPEN with
OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE on file with access mode either RW or
WR-only. Maybe this is a bug? or the spec is not clear?
It'd would be interesting to know how ONTAP server behaves in
this scenario.
