Thanks for testing!
It misunderstood the use of kfree_const(). It doesn't work for
constants in modules, only constants in vmlinux. So I guess you built
nfs as a module.
This version should fix that.
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] NFS: introduce NFS namespaces.
When there are multiple NFS mounts from the same server using the same
NFS version and the same security parameters, various other mount
parameters are forcibly shared, causing the parameter requests on
subsequent mounts to be ignored. This includes nconnect, fsc, and
others.
It is possible to avoid this sharing by creating a separate network
namespace for the new connections, but this can often be overly
burdensome. This patch introduces the concept of "NFS namespaces" which
allows one group of NFS mounts to be completely separate from others
without the need for a completely separate network namespace.
Use cases for this include:
- major applications with different tuning recommendations. Often the
support organisation for a particular application will require known
configuration options to be used before a support request can be
considered. If two applications use (different mounts from) the same
NFS server but require different configuration, this is currently
awkward.
- data policy restrictions. Use of fscache on one directory might be
forbidden by local policy, while use on another might be permitted
and beneficial.
- testing for problem diagnosis. When an NFS mount is exhibiting
problems it can be useful information to see if a second mount will
suffer the same problems. I've seen two separate cases recently with
TCP-level problems where the initial diagnosis couldn't make this test
as the TCP connection would be shared. Allowing completely independent
mounts would make this easier.
The NFS namespace concept addresses each of these needs.
A new mount option "namespace=" is added. Any two mounts with different
namespace settings are treated as through there were to different
servers. If no "namespace=" is given, then the empty string is used as
the namespace for comparisons. Possible usages might be
"namespace=application_name" or "namespace=mustnotcache" or
"namespace=testing".
The namespace - if given - is included in the client identity string so
that the NFSv4 server will see two different mount groups as though from
separate clients.
A few white-space inconsistencies nearby changed code have been
rectified.
