Subject: [PATCH 2/2] nfsd: back CB_NOTIFY notify_mask words with per-delegation storage
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:08:15 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812-dir-deleg-v1-2-411faa713068@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812-dir-deleg-v1-0-411faa713068@kernel.org>

nfsd4_cb_notify_prepare() reserved a word from the encoding xdr stream
for each notify4's host-order notify_mask, storing the pointer in
ncn_nf[].notify_mask.element. That element must survive until the RPC
encode re-reads ncn_nf, so the host-endian word lived inside the XDR
staging buffer for the whole callback lifetime - the same fragile
pattern as the attrmask, and one that keeps host-order bytes in a
buffer meant to hold big-endian XDR.

ncn_nf is a bounded per-delegation array reused across every CB_NOTIFY,
so give it a parallel ncn_masks array with the same lifetime:

- allocate/free ncn_masks alongside ncn_nf in alloc_init_dir_deleg() /
  nfs4_free_dir_deleg()
- point notify_mask.element at &ncn_masks[i] (events) and
  &ncn_masks[count] (dir attr change)

The mask backing is now pre-allocated, so the per-word NULL checks in
prepare go away. The staging stream holds only encoded XDR.
