NLM: Decode "priv" argument of NLMPROC_SM_NOTIFY as an opaque
The NLM XDR decoders for the NLMPROC_SM_NOTIFY procedure should treat their "priv" argument truly as an opaque, as defined by the protocol, and let the upper layers figure out what is in it. This will make it easier to modify the contents and interpretation of the "priv" argument, and keep knowledge about what's in "priv" local to fs/lockd/mon.c. For now, the NLM and NSM implementations should behave exactly as they did before. The formation of the address of the rebooted host in nlm_host_rebooted() may look a little strange, but it is the inverse of how nsm_init_private() forms the private cookie. Plus, it's going away soon anyway. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
