I don't really understand, how  mountd's root can be wrong. I.e.
its' always right as I see it. NFSd kthreads have to swap/use
relative path/whatever to communicate with proper mountd.
Or I'm missing something?

Ugh, I see the problem: I thought svc_export_request was called at the
time mountd does the read, but instead its done at the time nfsd does
the upcall.

I suspect that's wrong, and we really want this done in the context of
the mountd process when it does the read call.  If d_path is called
there then we have no problem.

Right, so I'd be happier if we could modify sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall to
skip calling cache_request and instead delay that until cache_read().  I
think that should be possible.


So, Bruce, what we going to do (or what you want me to do) with the rest of NFSd changes?
I.e. how I should solve this d_path() problem?
I.e. I don't understand what did you mean by "I'd be happier if we could modify sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall to
skip calling cache_request and instead delay that until cache_read()".
Could you give me a hint?
