This patch provides a temporarily relief for inter copy to work with some common configs. For long term solution, I think Trond's suggestion of using fs/nfs/nfs_common to store an op table that server can use to access the client code is the way to go. fs/nfsd/Kconfig | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) Below are the results of my testing of upstream mainline without and with the fix. Upstream version used for testing: 5.9-rc5 1.

NOTE2: When NFS_V4=y and NFS_FS=m, the build process automatically builds with NFS_V4=m and ignores the setting NFS_V4=y in the config file. This probably due to NFS_V4 in fs/nfs/Kconfig is configured to depend on NFS_FS.
