[RFC PATCH] SUNRPC: connect local transports synchronously

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Local tranports uses UNIX sockets and connecting of these sockets is done in
context of file system namespace (i.e. task file system root).
Currenly, all sockets connect operations are performed by rpciod work queue,
which actually means, that any service will be registered in the same rpcbind
instance regardless to process file system root.
This is not containers, which usually have it's own nested root. There are 2
approaches, how to solve the problem. First one is to store proper root in
tranport and switch to it in rpciod workqueue function for connect operations.
But this looks ugly. The second one is to connect to unix sockets
synchronously. This aptch implements the last one.
