Merge tag 'nfs-for-3.4-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs

Pull NFS client updates for Linux 3.4 from Trond Myklebust:
 "New features include:
   - Add NFS client support for containers.

     This should enable most of the necessary functionality, including
     lockd support, and support for rpc.statd, NFSv4 idmapper and
     RPCSEC_GSS upcalls into the correct network namespace from which
     the mount system call was issued.

   - NFSv4 idmapper scalability improvements

     Base the idmapper cache on the keyring interface to allow
     concurrent access to idmapper entries.  Start the process of
     migrating users from the single-threaded daemon-based approach to
     the multi-threaded request-key based approach.

   - NFSv4.1 implementation id.

     Allows the NFSv4.1 client and server to mutually identify each
     other for logging and debugging purposes.

   - Support the 'vers=4.1' mount option for mounting NFSv4.1 instead of
     having to use the more counterintuitive 'vers=4,minorversion=1'.

   - SUNRPC tracepoints.

     Start the process of adding tracepoints in order to improve
     debugging of the RPC layer.

   - pNFS object layout support for autologin.

  Important bugfixes include:

   - Fix a bug in rpc_wake_up/rpc_wake_up_status that caused them to
     fail to wake up all tasks when applied to priority waitqueues.

   - Ensure that we handle read delegations correctly, when we try to
     truncate a file.

   - A number of fixes for NFSv4 state manager loops (mostly to do with
     delegation recovery)."

+ways NFS could obtain this information: placing a call to /sbin/request-key
+or by placing a call to the rpc.idmap daemon.
+
+NFS will attempt to call /sbin/request-key first.  If this succeeds, the
+result will be cached using the generic request-key cache.  This call should
+only fail if /etc/request-key.conf is not configured for the id_resolver key

+If the call to /sbin/request-key fails (if /etc/request-key.conf is not

+layout drivers
+--------------
+
+PNFS utilizes what is called layout drivers. The STD defines 3 basic
+layout types: "files" "objects" and "blocks". For each of these types
+there is a layout-driver with a common function-vectors table which
+are called by the nfs-client pnfs-core to implement the different layout
+types.
+
+Files-layout-driver code is in: fs/nfs/nfs4filelayout.c && nfs4filelayoutdev.c
+Objects-layout-deriver code is in: fs/nfs/objlayout/.. directory
+Blocks-layout-deriver code is in: fs/nfs/blocklayout/.. directory
+
+objects-layout setup
+--------------------
+
+As part of the full STD implementation the objlayoutdriver.ko needs, at times,
+to automatically login to yet undiscovered iscsi/osd devices. For this the
+driver makes up-calles to a user-mode script called *osd_login*
+
+The path_name of the script to use is by default:
+        /sbin/osd_login.
+This name can be overridden by the Kernel module parameter:
+        objlayoutdriver.osd_login_prog
+
+If Kernel does not find the osd_login_prog path it will zero it out
+and will not attempt farther logins. An admin can then write new value
+to the objlayoutdriver.osd_login_prog Kernel parameter to re-enable it.
+
+The /sbin/osd_login is part of the nfs-utils package, and should usually
+be installed on distributions that support this Kernel version.
+
+The API to the login script is as follows:
+        Usage: $0 -u <URI> -o <OSDNAME> -s <SYSTEMID>
+        Options:
+                -u              target uri e.g. iscsi://<ip>:<port>
+                                (allways exists)
+                                (More protocols can be defined in the future.
+                                 The client does not interpret this string it is
+                                 passed unchanged as recieved from the Server)
+                -o              osdname of the requested target OSD
+                                (Might be empty)
+                                (A string which denotes the OSD name, there is a
+                                 limit of 64 chars on this string)
+                -s              systemid of the requested target OSD
+                                (Might be empty)
+                                (This string, if not empty is always an hex
+                                 representation of the 20 bytes osd_system_id)
