glusterfs.git/tests/basic/fencing, branch v8dev locks/fencing: Add a security knob for fencing 2019-01-22T05:23:44+00:00 Susant Palai spalai@redhat.com 2019-01-18T11:56:36+00:00 3c556353cd1dde0593096c9e9e11b877403971f0 There is a low level security issue with fencing since one client can preempt another client's lock. This patch does not completely eliminate the issue of a client misbehaving, but certainly it adds a security layer for default use cases that does not need fencing.

lock: Add fencing support 2019-01-17T15:33:42+00:00 Susant Palai spalai@redhat.com 2018-11-30T09:34:17+00:00 ebaf09a2a329517936232510e117debc3795e80b design reference: https://review.gluster.org/#/c/glusterfs-specs/+/21925/ This patch adds the lock preempt support. Note: The current model stores lock enforcement information as separate xattr on disk. There is another effort going in parallel to store this in stat(x) of the file. This patch is self sufficient to add fencing support. Based on the availability of the stat(x) support either I will rebase this patch or we can modify the necessary bits post merging this patch.
