Prepare nfs/sunrpc stack to use multiple instances of rpc_pipefs.
Only for client for now.
What would a test case for this look like? (Is there some way to tell
an nfs mount to use a specific instance of rpc_pipefs or something?)
You can create a new instance of rpc_pipefs using 'newinstance'
mountoption.
Then you can specify which rpc_pipefs to use with 'rpcmount' mountoption
of nfs mount. If none specifed, '/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs' uses by default.
That path is as the process performing the mount sees it?
If no rpcmount mountoption, no rpc_pipefs was found at
'/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs' and we are in init's mount namespace, we use
init_rpc_pipefs.
It's the "we are in init's mount namespace" that I was wondering about.
So if I naievely chroot, nfs mount stops working the way it did before I
chrooted unless I do an extra setup step?
I'm actually poking at getting nfs mount working in LXC containers with
different network routing (mostly study so far, it took me a couple
weeks just to get lxc to work for me and now I'm trying to wrap my head
around Linux's NFS implementation), so I'm very interested in this...
