Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 2/4] SUNRPC: Add a server-side API for retrieving an RPC's pseudoflavor
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 18:37:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908223710.506600-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908223710.506600-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
[ Upstream commit deb704281f076097b0347116a82edeba96697db1 ]
NFSD will use this new API to determine whether nfsd_splice_read is
safe to use. This avoids the need to add a dependency to NFSD for
CONFIG_SUNRPC_GSS.
