This allows a user to specify nfsvers=4, or vers=4 on the mount

mount.c's try_mount().

We get the value of the "vers=" or "nfsvers=" from the nfsmount_info
structure, and if the value equals 4, we set the fstype to nfs4, and
remove the nfsvers/vers options from the structure since it shouldn't
be there in the first place, and we don't want to pass it along down
the stack.

po_get_numeric returns the rightmost instance, so we honor the last
value of nfsvers/vers in the event that it is overridden later in the
options string.

If someone specifies both a vers= and a nfsvers= on the command line, this won't handle it. You need to implement a rightmost search, as Steve's patch (posted previously on this list) did.

I can't seem to find Steve's patches relating to this issue. I'm assuming that since there are already patches related to this, it's not worth pursuing these particular patches.

It was on the NFSv4 mailing list.  Sorry about that.

Hi Steve-

Yep, this is the idea.  Comments below.

I don't have a strong opinion, but my preference would be to leave  
enhancements like this to text-based mounts only.

As far as I recall, we recently fixed po_rightmost() to return a C- 
style array offset.  Shouldn't the cases be 0, 1, and 2?

You always need to remove all of "nfsvers," "vers", "v2", "v3", and  
"v4" if this is a nfs4 mount.  The reason for this is to make sure the  
user hasn't specified something bogus like "nfsvers=2,vers=3,v4".  In  
that case the correct behavior is to do a "nfs4" mount and strip out  
all verison options.  For something like "v4,nfsvers=3,vers=2" the  
correct behavior is to do a "nfs" mount and remove any v4-related  
version options (which the kernel won't like).  The rule is "rightmost  
wins".

So you need two exits from this function:

  * for "nfs" mounts, return "nfs" and make sure any of "v4"  
"nfsvers=4" or "vers=4" are removed, and

  * for "nfs4" mounts, return "nfs4" and strip all version options  
from the mount string.

I'm pretty sure you can get the same effect (returning a statically  
allocated character string) with:

	return "nfs4";

If you're not going to use nfs_nfs_version() at all, then this  
function would be better off living in utils/mount/stropts.c.   
network.c is just for the network-related functions (like creating a  
socket, handling DNS lookups, or doing getport calls), and they are  
generally shared between legacy and text-based support.  This is  
clearly going to be a text-based-only kind of thing.
