Why does sunrpc require it's own sysctl root? You should be able to use
the generic per network namespace root and call it good.
What makes register_net_sysctl_table and register_net_sysctl_ro_table
unsuitable for sunrpc. I skimmed through your patches and I haven't
seen anything obvious.

Hello, Eric. Sorry for the lack of information.
I was considering two ways how to make these sysctl per net ns:
1) Use register_net_sysctl_table and register_net_sysctl_ro_table as you
mentioned. This was easy and cheap, but also means, than all user-space
programs, tuning SUNRPC will be broken (since all sysctl currently located
in"/proc/sys/sunprc/").
2) Export sysctl root creation routines and make per-net SUNRPC sysctl root.
This approach allows to make any part of sysctl tree per namespace context and
thus leave user-space stuff unchanged.
BTW, NFS and LockD also have it's sysctls ("/proc/sys/fs/nfs/").
And also because of them I've decided, that it would be better to export SYSCTL
root creation routines instead of breaking compatibility for all NFS layers by
moving all sysctl under /proc/sys/net/ directory.
Do you feel that it was a bad decision?
