I'm queuing this up for 2.6.30, barring objections. --b. commit 026722c25e6eb018eab8b9a3c198c258f5b7a2e7 Author: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 18 15:06:26 2009 -0400 nfsd4: don't check ip address in setclientid The spec allows clients to change ip address, so we shouldn't be requiring that setclientid always come from the same address. For example, a client could reboot and get a new dhcpd address, but still present the same clientid to the server. In that case the server should revoke the client's previous state and allow it to continue, instead of (as it currently does) returning a CLID_INUSE error. Signed-off-by: J.
