[ Upstream commit 594d1644cd59447f4fceb592448d5cd09eb09b5e ]
This patch removes the check from nfs_compare_mount_options to see if a `sec' option was passed for the current mount before comparing auth flavors and instead just always compares auth flavors.
Consider the following scenario:
You have a server with the address 192.168.1.1 and two exports /export/a and /export/b. The first export supports `sys' and `krb5' security, the second just `sys'.
Assume you start with no mounts from the server.
The following results in EIOs being returned as the kernel nfs client incorrectly thinks it can share the underlying `struct nfs_server's:
$ mkdir /tmp/{a,b} $ sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3,sec=krb5 192.168.1.1:/export/a /tmp/a $ sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3 192.168.1.1:/export/b /tmp/b $ df >/dev/null df: ‘/tmp/b’: Input/output error
