Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

This patch implements DNS resolver cache creation and registration for each
alive network namespace context.
This was done by registering NFS per-net operations, responsible for DNS cache
allocation/register and unregister/destructioning instead of initialization and
destruction of static "nfs_dns_resolve" cache detail (this one was removed).
Pointer to network dns resolver cache is stored in new per-net "nfs_net"
structure.
This patch also changes nfs_dns_resolve_name() function prototype (and it's
calls) by adding network pointer parameter, which is used to get proper DNS
resolver cache pointer for do_cache_lookup_wait() call.Note: empty nfs_dns_resolver_init() and nfs_dns_resolver_destroy() functions
will be used in next patch in the series.Signed-off-by: Stanislav Kinsbursky

The NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 protocols both allow for the redirection of a client
from one server to another in order to support filesystem migration and
replication. For full protocol support, we need to add the ability to
convert a DNS host name into an IP address that we can feed to the RPC
client.We'll reuse the sunrpc cache, now that it has been converted to work with
rpc_pipefs.Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust
