  • ...so that we can do the uid/gid mapping outside the asynchronous RPC
    context.
    This fixes a bug in the current NFSv4 atomic open code where the client
    isn't able to determine what the true uid/gid fields of the file are,
    (because the asynchronous nature of the OPEN call denies it the ability
    to do an upcall) and so fills them with default values, marking the
    inode as needing revalidation.
    Unfortunately, in some cases, the VFS will do some additional sanity
    checks on the file, and may override the server's decision to allow
    the open because it sees the wrong owner/group fields.

  • This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to
    place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names. The old
    idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running
    at a single time. This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to
    finish before accessing a cached result.

    The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver. See the file
    Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt for instructions.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
