In any case, this particular denial of service attack should be easy to fix by adding SVC_DESTROY to the Ganesha umount code path(s).
Should I do SVC_DESTROY or SVC_RELEASE in unmount? Also I am not sure if we will hit this issue if client mount and reboot without unmount. I will test that, will unmount fix work in that case?
However, because it seems rather unlikely this could happen in production, it's not currently a high priority.
Do you have a production environment or customer report where this occurred?
No its not customer issue, I faced it after taking extra ref fix https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/ntirpc/pull/155. But as I mentioned earlier if it happens in client reboot case also then its likely to happen in production if there is client which is crashing and coming up. I will check it.
Would you like help writing the Ganesha patch?
I would surely like to help with the fix.
Are you with Nutanix? Or IBM?
I am with Nutanix. -Gaurav
