This is a respin of the set with the same title that I sent on Monday (Oct 1st). This one has a few bugfixes, and adds some code to allow the upcall program to convert from the legacy database to the new one. I'll also be posting a respin of the companion nfs-utils set too. The idea here is to allow a one-way conversion from the legacy clientid tracking code to the new one, which should allow for seamless kernel and nfs-utils upgrades. In order to handle that, this set also changes the heuristic that the kernel uses to decide what client tracker to use. We now must now try the usermodehelper upcall first and only fall back to other schemes if its initialization fails. Note that I'm not 100% sold on the idea to convert from the legacy db format. It's doable but somewhat "fiddly" to handle. There are probably corner cases where it will fall down, so it may be best not to even try to do that. I won't be offended if you decide not to take the last patch. Comments? Discuss!
