Subject: What's nlmsvc_proc_share() for?
Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2011 09:30:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D9C7916.5030907@parallels.com> (raw)
I'm reading through the fs/lockd code, and I read grace.c and svcshare.c
and code such as nlmsvc_share_file() only seems to get called from
nlmsvc_proc_share() (and its cut-and-paste twin nlm4svc_proc_share())...
And as far as I can grep, those last two functions are never called from
anywhere in the kernel source.
The comments say this is for "DOS shares", which presumably doesn't mean
what I think it means because DOS used netbios, not NFS...
What's this code for, and where does it get used? Is it something out
of tree, or some header #define that's glued##together that I'm not
picking up via grep...?
Rob
