What if it is an IPv6 address? As I've said before, could we please

adapt nfs_parse_server_address to deal with all these cases?
I haven't had the time to do that, so I thought we'd rather have a fix
for the immediate bug now, then add ipv6 support later. For all I
know
the final patches might end up factoring reasonable cleanly that way
anyway.
I have a patch (upcoming for 2.6.27) that fixes
nfs_parse_server_address to be careful about '\0'-termination. It
changes the function to take a char * and a length. All you will need
to do is make it non-static.
(I would have mentioned it yesterday but I thought I had dropped the
patch from my "for 2.6.27" series).
