Please include the upstream patches
* commit 085def3ade52 ("nfsd4: fix cached replies to solo SEQUENCE compounds") * commit 53da6a53e1d4 ("nfsd4: catch some false session retries")
into longterm kernel 4.14.
Because these patches went upstream in 4.15, they are already included in longterm 4.19 and stable.
A nfsd4 server failure, where the server sends unrelated replies to client requests containing only SEQUENCE operations has been experienced with kernel version 4.14.87 [1]. Because the client retries endlessly, this completely breaks the nfs mount.
A backport of these patches has been suggested by the patch author J. Bruce Fields. [1]
Only limited testing has been done (running a single server with 4.14.96 and these two patches for a week and generating some high load on it). It can not be proven by testing, that the patches really fix the experienced problem. However, as the patches are part of upstream and stable kernels for over a year they should be a save pick.
Backport note: Only line numbers updated.

commit 085def3ade52f2ffe3e31f42e98c27dcc222dd37 upstream.
Currently our handling of 4.1+ requests without "cachethis" set is confusing and not quite correct.
Suppose a client sends a compound consisting of only a single SEQUENCE op, and it matches the seqid in a session slot (so it's a retry), but the previous request with that seqid did not have "cachethis" set.
The obvious thing to do might be to return NFS4ERR_RETRY_UNCACHED_REP, but the protocol only allows that to be returned on the op following the SEQUENCE, and there is no such op in this case.
The protocol permits us to cache replies even if the client didn't ask us to. And it's easy to do so in the case of solo SEQUENCE compounds.
So, when we get a solo SEQUENCE, we can either return the previously cached reply or NFSERR_SEQ_FALSE_RETRY if we notice it differs in some way from the original call.
Currently, we're returning a corrupt reply in the case a solo SEQUENCE matches a previous compound with more ops. This actually matters because the Linux client recently started doing this as a way to recover from lost replies to idempotent operations in the case the process doing the original reply was killed: in that case it's difficult to keep the original arguments around to do a real retry, and the client no longer cares what the result is anyway, but it would like to make sure that the slot's sequence id has been incremented, and the solo SEQUENCE assures that: if the server never got the original reply, it will increment the sequence id. If it did get the original reply, it won't increment, and nothing else that about the reply really matters much. But we can at least attempt to return valid xdr!

From: "J. Bruce Fields" bfields@redhat.com
commit 53da6a53e1d414e05759fa59b7032ee08f4e22d7 upstream.
The spec allows us to return NFS4ERR_SEQ_FALSE_RETRY if we notice that the client is making a call that matches a previous (slot, seqid) pair but that *isn't* actually a replay, because some detail of the call doesn't actually match the previous one.
Catching every such case is difficult, but we may as well catch a few easy ones. This also handles the case described in the previous patch, in a different way.
The spec does however require us to catch the case where the difference is in the rpc credentials. This prevents somebody from snooping another user's replies by fabricating retries.
(But the practical value of the attack is limited by the fact that the replies with the most sensitive data are READ replies, which are not normally cached.)

Are you planning to submit the same as well for 4.9 LTS? The two commits apply on top of 4.9.154 with line number updated.

No, I'm not, because I didn't do any testing with 4.9.
Additionally, I'm unsure about the right procedure for trivial backports to multiple trees: Individual patch sets, which apply perfectly, a single patch sets and Greg resolves that for the other trees or maybe no patch set at all and just a "please cherry-pick .... from upstream" mail.
Best Donald

The first patch in this series applies to 4.9.y, but the second does not.
I'll be glad to take a backported, and tested, series, if someone still cares about NFS for 4.9.y. But unless you really care about that tree, I would not worry about it.

Hmm, both apply on top of 4.9.155, still but with line numbers adjusted (I'm attaching the respective rebased patches). Actually my question on the respective backports was originally triggered due to https://bugs-devel.debian.org/898060
The problem actually is on the 'tested' part, as Donald did no testing/reproducing with 4.9 itself.
