Now that the initial v5.19 merge window has closed, it's time for
another round of review for RPC-with-TLS support in the Linux NFS
client. This is just the RPC-specific portions. The full series is
available in the "topic-rpc-with-tls-upcall" branch here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git

I've taken two or three steps towards implementing the architecture
Trond requested during the last review. There is now a two-stage
connection establishment process so that the upper level can use
XPRT_CONNECTED to determine when a TLS session is ready to use.
There are probably additional changes and simplifications that can
be made. Please review and provide feedback.

I wanted to make more progress on client-side authentication (ie,
passing an x.509 cert from the client to the server) but NFSD bugs
have taken all my time for the past few weeks.


Changes since v1:
- Rebased on v5.18
- Re-ordered so generic fixes come first
- Addressed some of Trond's review comments

Chuck,

How have you been testing this series? It looks like nfsd support is not fully in yet, so I was wondering if you had a 3rd party server. I'd like
to do a little testing with this, and was wondering what I needed to
cobble together a test rig.

Ben Coddington has an ngnix module to support RPC-with-TLS that can
front-end a stock Linux NFSD. Rick has a FreeBSD server implementation
of RPC-with-TLS. Rick's probably taken his server down, but Ben's
server is still up on the bake-a-thon VPN.

That server now has a proper certificate for CN=boson.nfsv4.dev signed by the bakeathon CA (thanks Chuck).

I've also (finally) put the nginx module code up on github if anyone else wants to throw it in front of a server:
https://github.com/bcodding/nginx-rpc-tls

Ben
