A future patch will enable NFSD to sign filehandles by appending a Message Authentication Code(MAC). To do this, NFSD requires a secret 128-bit key that can persist across reboots. A persisted key allows the server to accept filehandles after a restart. Enable NFSD to be configured with this key the netlink interface.

In order to harden knfsd servers against this attack, create a method to sign and verify filehandles using siphash as a MAC (Message Authentication Code). Filehandles that have been signed cannot be tampered with, nor can clients reasonably guess correct filehandles and hashes that may exist in parts of the filesystem they cannot access due to directory permissions. Append the 8 byte siphash to encoded filehandles for exports that have set the "sign_fh" export option. Filehandles received from clients are verified by comparing the appended hash to the expected hash. If the MAC does not match the server responds with NFS error _BADHANDLE. If unsigned filehandles are received for an export with "sign_fh" they are rejected with NFS error _BADHANDLE.
