Hello,

I made a stab at implementing VRF support in NFS, but it appears
fairly complicated and I ended up reverting my changes....

Is anyone working on this?

And, if not, if anyone would like to be sponsored to work on this, please
let me know.

Um, sorry--what's VRF?

Virtual Router logic.  It is sort of like network stack containers,
and has been solid and fully featured in the kernel since 4.16 or so.

In the end, you effectively need to call the logic that SO_BINDTODEVICE
calls on the socket before binding to an IP.

The NFS and RPC logic is a giant tangled mess to my eyes, so
hoping I could bribe someone else to do it :)

Thanks,
Ben
