    sunrpc: move NO_CRKEY_TIMEOUT to the auth->au_flags · ce52914e

    A generic_cred can be used to look up a unx_cred or a gss_cred, so it's
    not really safe to use the the generic_cred->acred->ac_flags to store
    the NO_CRKEY_TIMEOUT flag.  A lookup for a unx_cred triggered while the
    KEY_EXPIRE_SOON flag is already set will cause both NO_CRKEY_TIMEOUT and
    KEY_EXPIRE_SOON to be set in the ac_flags, leaving the user associated
    with the auth_cred to be in a state where they're perpetually doing 4K
    NFS_FILE_SYNC writes.
    
    This can be reproduced as follows:
    
    1. Mount two NFS filesystems, one with sec=krb5 and one with sec=sys.
    They do not need to be the same export, nor do they even need to be from
    the same NFS server.  Also, v3 is fine.
    $ sudo mount -o v3,sec=krb5 server1:/export /mnt/krb5
    $ sudo mount -o v3,sec=sys server2:/export /mnt/sys
    
    2. As the normal user, before accessing the kerberized mount, kinit with
    a short lifetime (but not so short that renewing the ticket would leave
    you within the 4-minute window again by the time the original ticket
    expires), e.g.
    $ kinit -l 10m -r 60m
    
    3. Do some I/O to the kerberized mount and verify that the writes are
    wsize, UNSTABLE:
    $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/krb5/file bs=1M count=1
    
    4. Wait until you're within 4 minutes of key expiry, then do some more
    I/O to the kerberized mount to ensure that RPC_CRED_KEY_EXPIRE_SOON gets
    set.  Verify that the writes are 4K, FILE_SYNC:
    $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/krb5/file bs=1M count=1
    
    5. Now do some I/O to the sec=sys mount.  This will cause
    RPC_CRED_NO_CRKEY_TIMEOUT to be set:
    $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sys/file bs=1M count=1
    
    6. Writes for that user will now be permanently 4K, FILE_SYNC for that
    user, regardless of which mount is being written to, until you reboot
    the client.  Renewing the kerberos ticket (assuming it hasn't already
    expired) will have no effect.  Grabbing a new kerberos ticket at this
    point will have no effect either.
    
    Move the flag to the auth->au_flags field (which is currently unused)
    and rename it slightly to reflect that it's no longer associated with
    the auth_cred->ac_flags.  Add the rpc_auth to the arg list of
    rpcauth_cred_key_to_expire and check the au_flags there too.  Finally,
    add the inode to the arg list of nfs_ctx_key_to_expire so we can
    determine the rpc_auth to pass to rpcauth_cred_key_to_expire.
