Subject: [PATCH v2 12/13] sunrpc: add SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_FLUSH netlink command
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 10:40:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325-exportd-netlink-v2-12-067df016ea95@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325-exportd-netlink-v2-0-067df016ea95@kernel.org>
Add a new SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_FLUSH generic netlink command that allows
userspace to flush the sunrpc auth caches (ip_map and unix_gid) without
writing to /proc/net/rpc/*/flush.
An optional SUNRPC_A_CACHE_FLUSH_MASK u32 attribute selects which caches
to flush (bit 1 = ip_map, bit 2 = unix_gid). If the attribute is
omitted, all sunrpc caches are flushed.
This is used by exportfs to replace its /proc-based cache_flush() with a
netlink equivalent, with /proc fallback for older kernels.
Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>
