I'm not sure what would be the right fix for that...

The following could be unrelated, and maybe I'm just confused but there seems to be something funky about the way we convert from bmap to access bits.
(unrelated note: for nfsv4.1 we'll need to mask the share access with ~OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WANT_DELEG_MASK)

If I understand this correctly, we set a bit in
st_access_bmap corresponding to the share_access,
so for read-only bit #1 will be, write-only #2,
and for read-write (only) bits 1-3 should be set.
otherwise this wouldn't work:

	if (!test_bit(od->od_share_access, &stp->st_access_bmap)) {
		dprintk("NFSD:access not a subset current bitmap: 0x%lx, input access=%08x\n",
			stp->st_access_bmap, od->od_share_access);
		goto out;
	}

but init_stateid sets only one bit:

	__set_bit(open->op_share_access, &stp->st_access_bmap);

only if we went through nfs4_upgrade_open another bit may be set.

Yes. I'm a bit confused about that. Hm, maybe we need to be doing a mnt_want_write on open_upgrade and mnt_put_write on downgrade?

We're just trying to enforce rfc 3530 14.2.19:

Note that this paragraph would allow

OPEN for read
OPEN for write
OPEN_DOWNGRADE to read

but have us return NFS4ERR_INVAL if we got a sequence of opens like:

OPEN for read and write
OPEN_DOWNGRADE to read

because in this case there was only a single open (for read and write), and no open just for read.

Re: [PATCH] nfsd: take file and mnt write in nfs4_upgrade_open

Yes, this looks correct, at least for the immediate fix; thanks!

Eventually I think we should move to opening a new file descriptor when upgrading, and keeping two file descriptors with the stateid; I think this business of trying to use a file descriptor for write when we opened it for read is probably wrong.

Yes, this looks correct, at least for the immediate fix; thanks!

Eventually I think we should move to opening a new file descriptor when upgrading, and keeping two file descriptors with the stateid; I think this business of trying to use a file descriptor for write when we opened it for read is probably wrong.

That could work, though they need to be associated in some way for open_downgrade/close processing.

Bruce Fields suggested this (Thanks!):
maybe we need to be doing a mnt_want_write on open_upgrade and mnt_put_write on downgrade?

This patch adds a call to mnt_want_write and file_take_write (which is doing the actual work).

The counter-calls mnt_drop_write a file_release_write are now being properly called by drop_file_write_access in the exact path printed by the warning above.

Yes. I think it would work just to keep up to one read-only open and one write-only open and then close one or the other as necessary on the downgrade.

We're just trying to enforce rfc 3530 14.2.19:

OK. I see.
Thanks for explaining!
It is a bit mind boggling, maybe adding some comments explaining why the bitmap is needed would help...

Where do you think you would have looked for a comment? I figured just before the helper functions here was one obvious place.

Yup. Either here, or closer to (nfsd's) struct nfs4_stateid's definition where st_{access,deny}_bmap are defined.
