Full IPv6 client and server support (kernel and user commands)

Full IPv6 client and server support (kernel and user commands)

[Le Rouzic]

Hi,

I have just posted at http://nfsv4.bullopensource.org/ a full IPV6 
client and server NFSV4 support
based on linux-2.6.27-rc3 and nfs-utils.1.1.2.
It is experimental and not fully tested but it allows to have a IPV6 
NFSV4 linux configuration to
play with.

Let me know if any issues to get this delivery and to run it.

Best Regards

I took a quick look at the server patch available from the URL above.

There are more #if's than necessary--for example, maybe you could define
a constant once in a header to choose the correct address family rather
than putting #if's around all the svc_create() calls?

It'd be worth running this by Chuck, as he's been doing a good job of
that kind of thing.

Could you mail future versions of any patches to the mailing list in the
usual format, rather than providing a URL?  That'd save us a little
time.

(Whoops, sorry, I see now that you did and it got lost in the pile of
mail that I arrived while I was travelling.... Anyway, the ifdef
comments still apply.)

This is done and can be found in git://linux-nfs.org/nfs-utils git

Also note number of IPv6 orientated changes have been added and
will continue to be added  to both the libitrpc and rpcbind git 
trees found at:

git://git.infradead.org/~steved/libtirpc.git
git://git.infradead.org/~steved/rpcbind.git

OK. I'll have a look.

I have the latest version of this repo, and there are only the first  
two IPv6 patches in there. These two patches only add new shared  
functionality, none of which is even used yet.  So I have a lot more  
to send you.

Or did I misunderestimate what you meant?

+1

These are pretty much required now to use NFS IPv6 with the latest  
kernels.
