[PATCH 000/112] What's in the NFS queue for linux-2.6.25

[Trond Myklebust]

The following series contains all the patches that are currently queued
up for inclusion in 2.6.25.

Main changes include

      * Cleanup of the SUNRPC client call API. Extend rpc_run_task() so
        that it can act as the universal point of entry for all RPC
        calls. Unexport rpc_execute() and assorted other low-level
        interfaces.
      * Fix the remaining 'mount' issues: mainly to do with allowing
        people to select tcp both and udp mounts to the same server,
        setting per-mountpoint timeo/retrans etc...
      * More IPv6 cleanups from Chuck. NFSv4 support for IPv6 should now
        almost be complete (IPv6 callback support is still not ready).
      * Assorted bugfixes, including SteveD's fix for the
        sillyrename/umount race.

Cheers
  Trond

Does this mean we can start beta testing these features out in the
distributions now? Is nfs-utils (in particular nfsd/mountd) ready?

No. I'm talking about the kernel client support only. Server support is
a different matter...

I believe Chuck still has to make a change to the nfs-utils 'mount' in
order to make it capable of resolving IPv6 DNS lookups.

There are some missing glibc/tirpc pieces required for the mount  
command to support binding IPv6 sockets.  I'm still sorting things  
out, but I expect to have something available for testing Linux NFSv4  
mounting against IPv6-enabled servers (Solaris, at least) soon.
