Subject: [PATCH v4 11/14] lockd: Move xdr.h from include/linux/lockd/ to fs/lockd/
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 10:19:32 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260128151935.1646063-12-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260128151935.1646063-1-cel@kernel.org>

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

The lockd subsystem unnecessarily exposes internal NLM XDR type
definitions through the global include path. These definitions
are not used by any code outside fs/lockd/, making them
inappropriate for include/linux/lockd/.

Moving xdr.h to fs/lockd/ narrows the API surface and clarifies
that these types are internal implementation details. The
comment in linux/lockd/bind.h stating xdr.h was needed for
"xdr-encoded error codes" is stale: no lockd API consumers use
those codes.

Forward declarations for struct nfs_fh and struct file_lock are
added to bind.h because their definitions were previously pulled
in transitively through xdr.h. Additionally, nfs3proc.c needs an
explicit include of filelock.h for FL_CLOSE.

Built and tested with lockd client/server operations. No
functional change.
