Revert "SUNRPC: Fail faster on bad verifier"
commit e86fcf08 upstream. This reverts commit 0701214c . The premise of this commit was incorrect. There are exactly 2 cases where rpcauth_checkverf() will return an error: 1) If there was an XDR decode problem (i.e. garbage data). 2) If gss_validate() had a problem verifying the RPCSEC_GSS MIC. In the second case, there are again 2 subcases: a) The GSS context expires, in which case gss_validate() will force a new context negotiation on retry by invalidating the cred. b) The sequence number check failed because an RPC call timed out, and the client retransmitted the request using a new sequence number, as required by RFC2203. In neither subcase is this a fatal error. Reported-by:Russell Cattelan <cattelan@thebarn.com> Fixes: 0701214c ("SUNRPC: Fail faster on bad verifier") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:
