NFSv4: Revalidate uid/gid after open
This is a shorter (and more appropriate for stable kernels) analog to the following upstream commit: commit 6926afd1925a54a13684ebe05987868890665e2b Author: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Date: Sat Jan 7 13:22:46 2012 -0500 NFSv4: Save the owner/group name string when doing open ...so that we can do the uid/gid mapping outside the asynchronous RPC context. This fixes a bug in the current NFSv4 atomic open code where the client isn't able to determine what the true uid/gid fields of the file are, (because the asynchronous nature of the OPEN call denies it the ability to do an upcall) and so fills them with default values, marking the inode as needing revalidation. Unfortunately, in some cases, the VFS will do some additional sanity checks on the file, and may override the server's decision to allow the open because it sees the wrong owner/group fields. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Without this patch, logging into two different machines with home directories mounted over NFS4 and then running "vim" and typing ":q" in each reliably produces the following error on the second machine: E137: Viminfo file is not writable: /users/system/rtheys/.viminfo This regression was introduced by 80e52aced138 ("NFSv4: Don't do idmapper upcalls for asynchronous RPC calls", merged during the 2.6.32 cycle) --- after the OPEN call, .viminfo has the default values for st_uid and st_gid (0xfffffffe) cached because we do not want to let rpciod wait for an idmapper upcall to fill them in. The fix used in mainline is to save the owner and group as strings and perform the upcall in _nfs4_proc_open outside the rpciod context, which takes about 600 lines. For stable, we can do something similar with a one-liner: make open check for the stale fields and make a (synchronous) GETATTR call to fill them when needed. Trond dictated the patch, I typed it in, and Rik tested it.
