NFSv4.1 Server Implementation
|
|
|
|
Server support for minorversion 1 can be controlled using the
|
|
/proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. The string output returned
|
|
by reading this file will contain either "+4.1" or "-4.1"
|
|
correspondingly.
|
|
|
|
Currently, server support for minorversion 1 is enabled by default.
|
|
It can be disabled at run time by writing the string "-4.1" to
|
|
the /proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. Note that to write this
|
|
control file, the nfsd service must be taken down. You can use rpc.nfsd
|
|
for this; see rpc.nfsd(8).
|
|
|
|
(Warning: older servers will interpret "+4.1" and "-4.1" as "+4" and
|
|
"-4", respectively. Therefore, code meant to work on both new and old
|
|
kernels must turn 4.1 on or off *before* turning support for version 4
|
|
on or off; rpc.nfsd does this correctly.)
|
|
|
|
The NFSv4 minorversion 1 (NFSv4.1) implementation in nfsd is based
|
|
on RFC 5661.
|
|
|
|
From the many new features in NFSv4.1 the current implementation
|
|
focuses on the mandatory-to-implement NFSv4.1 Sessions, providing
|
|
"exactly once" semantics and better control and throttling of the
|
|
resources allocated for each client.
|
|
|
|
Other NFSv4.1 features, Parallel NFS operations in particular,
|
|
are still under development out of tree.
|
|
See http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/PNFS_prototype_design
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
The table below, taken from the NFSv4.1 document, lists
|
|
the operations that are mandatory to implement (REQ), optional
|
|
(OPT), and NFSv4.0 operations that are required not to implement (MNI)
|
|
in minor version 1. The first column indicates the operations that
|
|
are not supported yet by the linux server implementation.
|
|
|
|
The OPTIONAL features identified and their abbreviations are as follows:
|
|
pNFS Parallel NFS
|
|
FDELG File Delegations
|
|
DDELG Directory Delegations
|
|
|
|
The following abbreviations indicate the linux server implementation status.
|
|
I Implemented NFSv4.1 operations.
|
|
NS Not Supported.
|
|
NS* unimplemented optional feature.
|
|
P pNFS features implemented out of tree.
|
|
PNS pNFS features that are not supported yet (out of tree).

Implementation notes:
|
|
|
|
SSV:
|
|
* The spec claims this is mandatory, but we don't actually know of any
|
|
implementations, so we're ignoring it for now. The server returns
|
|
NFS4ERR_ENCR_ALG_UNSUPP on EXCHANGE_ID, which should be future-proof.
|
|
|
|
GSS on the backchannel:
|
|
* Again, theoretically required but not widely implemented (in
|
|
particular, the current Linux client doesn't request it). We return
|
|
NFS4ERR_ENCR_ALG_UNSUPP on CREATE_SESSION.
|
|
|
|
DELEGPURGE:
|
|
* mandatory only for servers that support CLAIM_DELEGATE_PREV and/or
|
|
CLAIM_DELEG_PREV_FH (which allows clients to keep delegations that
|
|
persist across client reboots). Thus we need not implement this for
|
|
now.
|
|
|
|
EXCHANGE_ID:
|
|
* implementation ids are ignored
|
|
|
|
CREATE_SESSION:
|
|
* backchannel attributes are ignored
|
|
|
|
SEQUENCE:
|
|
* no support for dynamic slot table renegotiation (optional)
|
|
|
|
Nonstandard compound limitations:
|
|
* No support for a sessions fore channel RPC compound that requires both a
|
|
ca_maxrequestsize request and a ca_maxresponsesize reply, so we may
|
|
fail to live up to the promise we made in CREATE_SESSION fore channel
|
|
negotiation.
