SUNRPC: Use only rpcbind v2 for AF_INET requests
Some server vendors support the higher versions of rpcbind only for AF_INET6. The kernel doesn't need to use v3 or v4 for AF_INET anyway, so change the kernel's rpcbind client to query AF_INET servers over rpcbind v2 only. This has a few interesting benefits: 1. If the rpcbind request is going over TCP, and the server doesn't support rpcbind versions 3 or 4, the client reduces by two the number of ephemeral ports left in TIME_WAIT for each rpcbind request. This will help during NFS mount storms. 2. The rpcbind interaction with servers that don't support rpcbind versions 3 or 4 will use less network traffic. Also helpful during mount storms. 3. We can eliminate the kernel build option that controls whether the kernel's rpcbind client uses rpcbind version 3 and 4 for AF_INET servers. Less complicated kernel configuration...

- RPC requests over IPv6 networks require support for larger
- addresses when performing an RPC bind. Sun added support for
- IPv6 addressing by creating two new versions of the rpcbind
- protocol (RFC 1833).
-
- This option enables support in the kernel RPC client for
- querying rpcbind servers via versions 3 and 4 of the rpcbind
- protocol. The kernel automatically falls back to version 2
- if a remote rpcbind service does not support versions 3 or 4.
- By themselves, these new versions do not provide support for
- RPC over IPv6, but the new protocol versions are necessary to
- support it.
-
- If unsure, say N to get traditional behavior (version 2 rpcbind
- requests only).
