Subject:   [GSoC'20 Weekly Update] Adding audit(4) support to NFS
Message-ID:  <CAOVCmzGsPSQccyKYKSPcOFESNYVsGdf=gnyvxaQZMW93HWOSAQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

This project aims to add audit(4) support to NFS, which will allow
auditd(8) to just run on the NFS server and audit all activities within the
NFS network. Audit works mostly on the syscall level and NFS is implemented
within the kernel, which means the NFS RPCs don't generate any audit
records on the server.
Note that audit(4) can still be used on the NFS network but auditd(8) must
run on every NFS client.

This week I made the following progress:
* make the TestSuite <https://github.com/shivankgarg98/NFSAuditTestSuite>; and
/sys code ready for review.
* Created a diff revision on phabricator for NFSv3 /sys code -
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D25869
* Followed up on the suggested changes.

Currently, I'm:
* Fixing the AUDIT_NFSARG_UPATH1 to avoid unlocking/relocking of vnode for
locked vnode, as it may cause problems.
* Reading the NFSv4 code and RFC for the adding audit support to it.

Please, do Check this project on
