But there should be noted, that such implementation introduces limitation
(Trond's quote):
"That approach can fall afoul of the selinux restrictions on the process
context. Processes that are allowed to write data, may not be allowed to
create sockets or call connect(). That is the main reason for doing it
in the rpciod context, which is a clean kernel process context."

So you tested this and Trond was wrong?  This work just fine even on
an SELinux box?  Or it does break tons and tons of people's computers?

You can read discussion here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1565111/

We use AF_LOCAL transports only for portmapper calls.
So, we decided (or at least I understood that so) to make such connections
from process context - i.e. synchronously.
