nfsd: add the infrastructure to handle the cld upcall
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
...and add a mechanism for switching between the "legacy" tracker and
the new one. The decision is made by looking to see whether the
v4recoverydir exists. If it does, then the legacy client tracker is
used.

If it's not, then the kernel will create a "cld" pipe in rpc_pipefs.
That pipe is used to talk to a daemon for handling the upcall.

Most of the data structures for the new client tracker are handled on a
per-namespace basis, so this upcall should be essentially ready for
containerization. For now however, nfsd just starts it by calling the
initialization and exit functions for init_net.

I'm making the assumption that at some point in the future we'll be able
to determine the net namespace from the nfs4_client. Until then, this
patch hardcodes init_net in those places. I've sprinkled some "FIXME"
comments around that code to attempt to make it clear where we'll need
to fix that up later.
