RPC: add wrapper for svc_reserve to account for checksum
When the kernel calls svc_reserve to downsize the expected size of an RPC
reply, it fails to account for the possibility of a checksum at the end of
the packet. If a client mounts a NFSv2/3 with sec=krb5i/p, and does I/O
then you'll generally see messages similar to this in the server's ring
buffer:
RPC request reserved 164 but used 208
While I was never able to verify it, I suspect that this problem is also
the root cause of some oopses I've seen under these conditions:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227726
This is probably also a problem for other sec= types and for NFSv4. The
large reserved size for NFSv4 compound packets seems to generally paper
over the problem, however.
This patch adds a wrapper for svc_reserve that accounts for the possibility
of a checksum. It also fixes up the appropriate callers of svc_reserve to
call the wrapper. For now, it just uses a hardcoded value that I
determined via testing. That value may need to be revised upward as things
change, or we may want to eventually add a new auth_op that attempts to
calculate this somehow.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a good way to reliably determine
the expected checksum length prior to actually calculating it, particularly
with schemes like spkm3.
