From 40fef8a649e5344bfb6a67a7cc3def3e0dad6448 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chuck Lever Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:24:54 -0400 Subject: 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...
