[PATCH 00/25] RFC: AF_INET6 family support for the NFS client

[PATCH 00/25] RFC: AF_INET6 family support for the NFS client

[Chuck Lever]

These 25 patches add support for AF_INET6 addresses to the NFS client.
This is a request for review of the proposed changes.

This series does not add support for AF_INET6 addresses to the Linux
NLM or NSM implementations, nor does it add support in the NFS server.

To use an IPv6 NFS server, the mount.nfs command will pass in an IPv6
server address via the "addr" option.  IPv6 support in mount.nfs is yet
to be implemented.

This series has been tested only with IPv4 addresses to ensure there are no
regressions.  Groupe Bull has tested earlier versions of these changes with
other IPv6 NFS server implementations to sanity check the architecture.

Please start using the linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org mailing list
for future submissions instead of the sourceforge one.

Thank you.

This is awesome. I can't wait for the server support :-)

Hi David-

Neil Brown has discussed a transition plan.  There were no objections  
to moving to vger, but we don't have a timeframe yet.
