Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nfs client (Fedora 17): nfs-utils-1.2.6-5.fc17.i686 kernel-PAE-3.6.5-1.fc17.i686 nfs server (Fedora 16): nfs-utils-1.2.5-5.fc16.i686 kernel-PAE-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686 How reproducible: by listing an NFS4 mounted directory with files owned by many users. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount via NFS4 an export containing files owned by more than 200 different users (e.g. /var/spool/mail/) 2. Do "ls -l <mountpoint>" Actual results: for some users the ownership is incorrectly given as 4294967294 Expected results: the owner of all files should be mapped correctly Additional info: in /proc/keys there is a listing of all cached uid mappings, the user that are not listed correctly are not present in the list. Strangely, all keys are shown as "permanent" instead of having an expiration time of 600 seconds. Also they are contributing (flag Q) to the quota. in /proc/key-users you can find the current maximum allowed number of keys for the root user (200). Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847084 probably has the same origin; however that bug has been closed as NOTABUG.

After a quick check I realized that with two Fedora 18 the uid mapping mechanism wasn't working at all (strangely). If this is the case it is no wonder that you didn't see the issue in that case.

I wanted to investigate the issue between two Fedora 18 machines. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to activate the uid mapping mechanism. Everything I tried had simply results compatible with nfs version 3. My test case was: 1. create a user "testnfs" on both the server and client with different UIDs 2. create a file on the server with (local) ownership by testnfs 3. nfs-mount the directory on the client machine and investigate the ownership of the file by the (local on the client) testnfs user. I espect ownership (e.g. uid is remapped), which is *not* the case. --- The same experiment carried on a Fedora 16 server, kernel 3.3.5-2.fc16.i686.PAE nfs-utils-1.2.5-5.fc16.i686, on the contrary gave the expected uid remapping. --- Not that I actually *need* remapping (on the contrary!), this is just to understand whether the problem is transient, and solved for the future or not.

The only reason why I didn't see any files owned by "nobody" was, because we use LDAP as central user database, so all numerical user id's could be resolved identically at server and client side. But if I have a local user with different user id, it will show up as a numerical id on the other side.

I have patches to expand this, but they're not quite upstream yet. This limits the size of the cache. (2) The default maximum number of keys (quota) is only 200. This can be altered from the running kernel as mentioned in comment 7 by tweaking sysctls for the moment. Ideally, though, kernel-wrought keys like this shouldn't be counted towards quota - something that will require a patch.

Now I have created a file /etc/sysctl.d/99-maxkeys.conf with content as you suggested in comment #24. After a reboot, "cat /proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxkeys" prints "10000". Then I called "ls -l" on a list of all home directories (several hundred), and the problem still exists: The first directories are displayed with the correct username and groupname, and somewhere in the middle the remaining directories (and files, of course) with new usernames and groupnames are displayed as "4294967294". /proc/keys contains 529 lines. In a previous try, with /proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxkeys having the default value of 200, /proc/keys had about 150 lines. I have retried this configuration again - currently /proc/keys has 205 lines. Immediate after reboot, /proc/keys contains 14 lines. I see that increasing the value of /proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxkeys will map more file uids and gids to the correct name. But even if the value is much bigger than the number of registered users and groups not all uids and gids are mapped. The nfs server which I have used for this test runs Fedora 19, currently with kernel-3.11.7-200.fc19.x86_64 because its a production server in use which I should not reboot too often. We use nis for distributing the users on the hosts.

The kernel should allocate as much memory it needs to save all usernames, uids, gids, etc that exists on that system (including nis, ldap, etc.). The list of usernames, groupnames, uids, is limited because the files which contains the list have a limited lenght and usernames etc. are not generated dynamically while the system is running (except a fixed amount, for example by new packages, or manually by the system administrator).

By manually changing 10000 to a low value the problem appears again, thus showing that still the NFS keys count against the root quota. The NFS client runs on a Fedora 20, whereas the NFS server resides on a fedora-release-16-1, kernel 3.3.5-2.fc16.i686.PAE.

I was also expecting this to be outside the quote. I have made some research in the kernel code and here is what I was able to find: * the keyring is created with the KEY_ALLOC_NOT_IN_QUOTA flag (and the absense of Q flag in /proc/keys confirms that), however * individual keys are created in nfs_idmap_request_key: - request_key function is called, which - calls the internal (not listed in any exported headers) request_key_and_link function - request_key_and_link is passed the *KEY_ALLOC_IN_QUOTA* flag making it an explicit call to keep the key in the quota * nfsidmap executable from the nfs-utils package - uses a keyctl_instantiate function. The 4th parameter of this function is keyring id and in case of this tool is always 0. - I believe the control later enters kernel space in the keyctl_instantiate_key function via the syscall interface. - this keyring id is then mapped to an actual in-kernel keyring and the key being mapped (through the nfsidmap commandline) is linked to that keyring. Obviously, if 0 is always passed there it will never happen. On the other hand, patching this issue (locally) has not caused any changes in the quota behaviour. Summary: According to current implementation (and my understanding) current behavior is expected. I would be very interested any opinion on this.

There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 20 kernel bugs. Fedora 20 has now been rebased to 3.17.2-200.fc20. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 21, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 21. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

In a fedora 21 the default value for kernel.keys.maxkeys seems to have been increased to 1000000, with no entry in sysctl.conf; also the "maxbytes" has a very large default value. Manually lowering that quota still exposes the problem. I have no idea if the keys count against the root_maxkeys quota on purpose or not.

Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
