The purpose is to decrease the chance that two > distinct clients will choose the same string, and to make the same > client connecting via different transports choose the same string. > > The use of the nodename comes from the NFSv4.1 (uniform) client > ID string. It has some shortcomings as well, but it is better > overall than using the client's local address. The use of the > uniquifier is also copied from the uniform client ID string. > > The goal is to make the default behavior better. Preventing a > malicious administrator from choosing the same nodename, uniquifier, > and/or client address on purpose is not possible. > > --- > > Chuck Lever (2): > NFSv4.0: Remove cl_ipaddr from non-UCS client ID > NFSv4.0: Remove transport protocol name from non-UCS client ID > > > fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++-------- > 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) Are you building the official NFS client PR for this merge window?
