This patchset is the userspace portion of the knfsd client name tracking
overhaul. See this patch series for an explanation:
nfsd: overhaul the client name tracking code (RFC)
The main changes from the last set are:
- the daemon has been renamed from clstated to nfsdcld, per Steve D's
suggestion
- the client names are no longer tracked on a per-server-address basis.
Chuck Lever pointed out that doing so would break the UCS migration
model. This version just keeps a single clients table in the main
database (which also significantly simplifies the code).
- other bugfixes and cleanups
The daemon listens for upcalls on the rpc_pipefs pipe using libevent,
and handles the requests.
The data is stored using a sqlite database. The main reason for this is
that it takes care of most of the fussy details and atomicity concerns
of tracking the information on stable storage.
Surprisingly, there is some controversy over this, but I believe it's
the right design decision. I'm willing to change that however if there
are legitimate technical concerns. In that event, I'd appreciate
constructive suggestions about what should replace it.
For now, the daemon is only suitable for single-host configurations.
My plan is to later extend this to be suitable for clustered
configurations as well.
The code is still a little rough, so be gentle. It also lacks things
like a manpage. I plan to add all that before doing a "formal" patch
submission, but I wanted to get some early review of the overall design
before to spend a lot of time knocking off the rough edges.
