Hi Steve-
This is client- and server-side nfs-utils support for RPC-with-TLS.
The client side support at this point is only a man page update
since the kernel handles mount option processing itself.
The server implementation can support both the opportunistic use of
transport layer security (it will be used if the client cares to),
and the required use of transport layer security (the server
requires the client to use it to access a particular export).
Without any other user space componentry, this implementation is
able to handle clients that request the use of RPC-with-TLS. To
support security policies that restrict access to exports based on
the client's use of TLS, modifications to exportfs and mountd are
needed. These are contained in this post, and can also be found
here:
git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/nfs-utils.git
The kernel patches, along with the handshake upcall, are carried in
the topic-rpc-with-tls-upcall branch available from:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git
Just wondering if these patch should wait until the kernel
patches reach mainline (aka rawhide)?
The kernel changes do not require these, they add more
features. Thus I don't think it's harmful to let them
wait for the kernel patches.
For testing, Jeff has set up a Fedora COPR with these,
the ktls-utils package, and an updated kernel.
What could be checked now is whether these nfs-utils
changes will break something on pre-TLS kernels.
Fair enough... I'll have a release ready for the
up coming Bakeathon...

Soon I hope to compose a new man page in Section 7 that will provide
an overview and quick set-up guidance for NFS's use of RPC-with-TLS.
Changes since v1:
- Addressed Jeff's review comments
- Updated nfs.man as well
