    nfs_common: add NFS LOCALIO auxiliary protocol enablement · 2a33a85b
    Mike Snitzer authored
    fs/nfs_common/nfslocalio.c provides interfaces that enable an NFS
    client to generate a nonce (single-use UUID) and associated nfs_uuid_t
    struct, register it with nfs_common for subsequent lookup and
    verification by the NFS server and if matched the NFS server populates
    members in the nfs_uuid_t struct.
    
    nfs_common's nfs_uuids list is the basis for localio enablement, as
    such it has members that point to nfsd memory for direct use by the
    client (e.g. 'net' is the server's network namespace, through it the
    client can access nn->nfsd_serv).
    
    This commit also provides the base nfs_uuid_t interfaces to allow
    proper net namespace refcounting for the LOCALIO use case.
    
    CONFIG_NFS_LOCALIO controls the nfs_common, NFS server and NFS client
    enablement for LOCALIO. If both NFS_FS=m and NFSD=m then
    NFS_COMMON_LOCALIO_SUPPORT=m and nfs_localio.ko is built (and provides
    nfs_common's LOCALIO support).
