The upper layer sets rq_rcv_buf.head[0].iov_len from its estimate of the
reply header size. For RPCSEC_GSS that estimate includes
auth->au_ralign, which gss_create_new() initializes to GSS_VERF_SLACK >>
2 (25 XDR words, or 100 bytes) and which is corrected to the real
verifier size only after the first reply on that rpc_auth has been
unwrapped. In this case, the krb5 MIC verifier is 36 bytes, so every
request encoded before the first reply completes has a head that is 64
bytes too long.
On TCP this is harmless: xdr_realign_pages() moves the excess head
bytes, which are genuine reply data, into the page list. With
RPC-over-RDMA and a Write chunk (sec=krb5, i.e. RPC_GSS_SVC_NONE, where
DDP is allowed), the payload has already been placed directly into the
page list, and the receive buffer holds only the inline part of the
reply. rpcrdma_inline_fixup() clamps its local copy of the head length
to the inline length but leaves head.iov_len untouched, so
xdr_realign_pages() still sees iov_len > cur and shifts whatever lies
past the inline reply in the receive buffer into the front of the
directly-placed payload:
rpc_xdr_recvfrom: head=[...,196] page=524288 tail=[...,64]
rpc_xdr_alignment: nfsv4 READ offset=132 copied=64
The first 64 bytes returned by each such READ are incorrect (zeroed, or
shifted right by 64 bytes depending on the kernel's xdr_shrink_bufhead()
implementation). This is readily hit with pNFS flexfiles over RDMA and
sec=krb5: the per-DS rpc_clnt gets a fresh rpc_auth whose first RPC is a
large READ. Reads following the first completed reply return the
expected data.
Commit cb0ae1fbb2f5 ("xprtrdma: Do not update {head, tail}.iov_len in
rpcrdma_inline_fixup()") removed the head-length correction while fixing
the handling of pure-inline krb5p replies.
When a Write chunk conveyed the payload, trim head.iov_len (in both
rq_rcv_buf and rq_private_buf, which call_decode() expects to match) to
the inline length actually received so that the XDR layer does not
realign the page list. Pure inline replies and Reply chunk replies are
unchanged.
