There's actually two separate sets of idmapper code; look at fs/nfs/idmapper.c, the first part of the file (between #ifdef CONFIG_NFS_USE_NEW_IDMAPPER and #else) is idmapping code that uses request_key(). The code you're looking at (including nfs_idmap_new()) is later in the file, and deprecated. --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
