Currently, svcauth_gss_accept() pre-reserves response buffer space for the RPC payload length and GSS sequence number before returning to the dispatcher, which then adds the header's accept_stat field. The problem is the accept_stat field is supposed to go before the length and seq_num fields. So svcauth_gss_release() has to relocate the accept_stat value (see svcauth_gss_prepare_to_wrap()). To enable these fields to be added to the response buffer in the correct (final) order, the pointer to the accept_stat has to be made available to svcauth_gss_accept() so that it can set it before reserving space for the length and seq_num fields. As a first step, move the pointer to the location of the accept_stat field into struct svc_rqst. Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
