| |
When you normally attempt to mount a share twice on the same mountpoint, a check in do_add_mount causes it to return an error
# mount localhost:/nfsv3 /mnt # mount localhost:/nfsv3 /mnt mount.nfs: /mnt is already mounted or busy
However when using the option 'noac', the user is able to mount the same share on the same mountpoint multiple times. This happens because a share mounted with the noac option is automatically assigned the 'sync' flag MS_SYNCHRONOUS in nfs_initialise_sb(). This flag is set after the check for already existing superblocks is done in sget(). The check for the mount flags in nfs_compare_mount_options() does not take into account the 'sync' flag applied later on in the code path. This means that when using 'noac', a new superblock structure is assigned for every new mount of the same share and multiple shares on the same mountpoint are allowed.
ie. # mount -onoac localhost:/nfsv3 /mnt can be run multiple times.
Could the existing behavior be considered to be a bug? If yes, one possible fix for this issue is to move the 'sync' flag assignment before the sget() is called to obtain an already existing superblock structure.
