I've been keeping the todo list up to date here:
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues
Some of them I think are relatively straightforward--probably anyone
with a little time could dive into them:
- SEQ4_STATUS_RECALLABLE_STATE_REVOKED
- backchannel attribute negotiation
- ACL retention bits
- Clarify RDMA non-support
Slightly trickier or open-ended; we may need to talk over design first
before diving in:
- Make DESTROY_SESSION wait on in-progress requests
- current stateid
- Check 4.0/4.1 interactions
- Callback failure handling
- GSS
The GSS piece is probably the one I'm most worried about. What we have
seems sufficient for current clients, but I know it's incomplete, and
I'm not entirely clear how much work it is to implement the minimum
required to ensure that future kerberos-using clients won't break
unexpectedly on upgrade to 4.1.
