  • 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.

  • Use the kernel DNS resolver to translate hostnames to IP addresses. Create a
    new config option to choose between the legacy DNS resolver and the new
    resolver.

  • 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.
