Currently in the RPC server, registering with the local portmapper and
creating permanent sockets are tied together. Expand the internal APIs
to allow these two socket characteristics to be separately specified.
This will be externalized in the next patch.
Following are 13 patches for nfsd/sunrpc that are suitabble for
2.6.20. They are from Chuck Lever and generalise some dependancies on
IPv4 to prepare the way for IPv6. There is still a lot of work to do
before we can actually use IPv6 to talk to NFSD, but this removes some
barriers.
