[LTP] LTP nfslock01 test failing on NFS v3 (lockd: cannot monitor 10.0.0.2)

[Petr Vorel]

Hi all,

this is a test failure posted by Nikita Yushchenko [1]. LTP NFS test nfslock01
looks to be failing on NFS v3:

"not unsharing /var makes AF_UNIX socket for host's rpcbind to become available
inside ltpns. Then, at nfs3 mount time, kernel creates an instance of lockd for
ltpns, and ports for that instance leak to host's rpcbind and overwrite ports
for lockd already active for root namespace. This breaks nfs3 file locking."

This error has been hidden, showing only with extra patch from Nikita [2].
Because the patch has not been merged, in case you want to verify yourself,
feel free to use my LTP fork branch nfs_flock/fail-on-error to get this patch +
strace debugging [3]:

nfslock01 1 TFAIL: nfs_lock process failed
...

Dmesg shows: "lockd: cannot monitor 10.0.0.2", test fails on
fcntl(fd, F_SETLKW, &lock), lock.l_whence is SEEK_SET.

Running other NFS versions (-v 4 or -v 4.1 or -v 4.2) works ok.
Also tested only on TCP due UDP being recently disabled by default.

I found this behaviour on various kernels (openSUSE 5.16, Debian: 5.16, 5.10,
SLES 5.14 and 5.3 - both heavily patched).

Is it a bug in lockd or in a test? Is there some limitation on v3?

Kind regards,
Petr
