      NFS: convert proto= option to use netids rather than a protoname · ee671b01
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      Solaris uses netids as values for the proto= option, so that when
      someone specifies "tcp6" they get traffic over TCP + IPv6. Until
      recently, this has never really been an issue for Linux since it didn't
      support NFS over IPv6. The netid and the protocol name were generally
      always the same (modulo any strange configuration in /etc/netconfig).
      
      The solaris manpage documents their proto= option as:
      
          proto= _netid_ | rdma
      
      This patch is intended to bring Linux closer to how the Solaris proto=
      option works, by declaring a static netid mapping in the kernel and
      converting the proto= and mountproto= options to follow it and display
      the proper values in /proc/mounts.
      
      Much of this functionality will need to be provided by a userspace
      mount.nfs patch. Chuck Lever has a patch to change mount.nfs in
      the same way. In principle, we could do *all* of this in userspace but
      that would mean that the options in /proc/mounts may not match the
      options used by userspace.
      
      The alternative to the static mapping here is to add a mechanism to
      upcall to userspace for netid's. I'm not opposed to that option, but
      it'll probably mean more overhead (and quite a bit more code). Rather
      than shoot for that at first, I figured it was probably better to
      start simply.
      
      Comments welcome.
