commit 2bb4c8d7ec8a98e1be9133d5901149a81ea9b5d9 Author: Chuck Lever Date: Wed Jan 28 09:19:07 2009 -0500 backwards compatibility: fix order of fields in TI-RPC's svc_req Preserve ABI compatibility between glibc's RPC implementation and the legacy RPC implementation in libtirpc by moving the rq_xprt field in the TI-RPC version of the svc_req struct so it is backwards compatible with the legacy version of this structure. Linux's legacy svc_req struct, from /usr/include/rpc/svc.h, looks like this: struct svc_req { rpcprog_t rq_prog; /* service program number */ rpcvers_t rq_vers; /* service protocol version */ rpcproc_t rq_proc; /* the desired procedure */ struct opaque_auth rq_cred; /* raw creds from the wire */ caddr_t rq_clntcred; /* read only cooked cred */ SVCXPRT *rq_xprt; /* associated transport */ }; The new TI-RPC svc_req struct, from /usr/include/tirpc/rpc/svc.h, looks like this: struct svc_req { u_int32_t rq_prog; /* service program number */ u_int32_t rq_vers; /* service protocol version */ u_int32_t rq_proc; /* the desired procedure */ struct opaque_auth rq_cred; /* raw creds from the wire */ void *rq_clntcred; /* read only cooked cred */ caddr_t rq_clntname; /* read only client name */ caddr_t rq_svcname; /* read only cooked service cred */ SVCXPRT *rq_xprt; /* associated transport */ }; Note the extra fields rq_clntname and rq_svcname. These are used for TI-RPC's RPCSEC GSS flavor support. This issue came to light because rpc.statd still uses only legacy RPC calls, and thus includes /usr/include/rpc/svc.h. However, other parts of nfs-utils now link with TI-RPC, so the legacy RPC functions in libtirpc are used in favor of glibc's RPC functions. The libtirpc svc functions use the new svc_req struct, but rpc.statd uses the old svc_req struct. Since the svc_req fields were different, rpc.statd broke after recent IPv6-related changes, even though I hadn't made any changes to it. Note that rpc.mountd also references the rq_xprt field, so it has the same issue. In most operating systems, there is only one rpc/svc.h and one version of svc_req so this is not a problem. We should audit all of the structures and functions under /usr/include/rpc and /usr/include/tirpc/rpc to ensure we have a reasonable level of backwards compatibility until such a time it is decided to merge these implementations or get rid of RPC support in glibc.
