Chuck Lever 40fef8a649 SUNRPC: Use only rpcbind v2 for AF_INET requests
Some server vendors support the higher versions of rpcbind only for
AF_INET6.  The kernel doesn't need to use v3 or v4 for AF_INET anyway,
so change the kernel's rpcbind client to query AF_INET servers over
rpcbind v2 only.

This has a few interesting benefits:

1. If the rpcbind request is going over TCP, and the server doesn't
   support rpcbind versions 3 or 4, the client reduces by two the number
   of ephemeral ports left in TIME_WAIT for each rpcbind request.  This
   will help during NFS mount storms.

2. The rpcbind interaction with servers that don't support rpcbind
   versions 3 or 4 will use less network traffic.  Also helpful
   during mount storms.

3. We can eliminate the kernel build option that controls whether the
   kernel's rpcbind client uses rpcbind version 3 and 4 for AF_INET
   servers.  Less complicated kernel configuration...

Bernhard Walle 383bc5cecc x86, crashdump, /proc/vmcore: remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL from kdump
I would suggest to remove the "experimental" status from Kdump.
Kdump is now in the kernel since a long time and used by Enterprise
distributions. I don't think that "experimental" is true any more.

Gerald Schaefer 53492b1de4 [S390] System z large page support.
This adds hugetlbfs support on System z, using both hardware large page
support if available and software large page emulation on older hardware.
Shared (large) page tables are implemented in software emulation mode,
by using page->index of the first tail page from a compound large page
to store page table information.

Chuck Lever 1a448fdb3c NFSD: Remove NFSv4 dependency on NFSv3
Clean up: Because NFSD_V4 "depends on" NFSD_V3, it appears as a child of
the NFSD_V3 menu entry, and is not visible if NFSD_V3 is unselected.

Replace the dependency on NFSD_V3 with a "select NFSD_V3".  This makes
NFSD_V4 look and work just like NFS_V3, while ensuring that NFSD_V3 is
enabled if NFSD_V4 is.

Sam Ravnborg adds:

"This use of select is questionable. In general it is bad to select
a symbol with dependencies.

In this case the dependencies of NFSD_V3 are duplicated for NFSD_V4
so we will not se erratic configurations but do you remember to
update NFSD_V4 when you add a depends on NFSD_V3?

But I see no other clean way to do it right now."

Later he said:

"My comment was more to say we have things to address in kconfig.
This is abuse in the acceptable range."

Chuck Lever 3329ba0523 SUNRPC: Remove PROC_FS dependency
Recently, commit 440bcc59 added a reverse dependency to fs/Kconfig to
ensure that PROC_FS was enabled if SUNRPC_GSS was enabled.

Apparently this isn't necessary because the auth_gss components under
net/sunrpc will build correctly even if PROC_FS is disabled, though
RPCSEC_GSS will not work without /proc.

It also violates the guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt
that states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts
anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies."

To address these issues, remove the dependency.

Chuck Lever 6ffd4be633 NFSD: Use "depends on" for PROC_FS dependency
Recently, commit 440bcc59 added a reverse dependency to fs/Kconfig to
ensure that PROC_FS was enabled if NFSD_V4 was enabled.

There is a guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt that
states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts
anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies."

A quick grep around other Kconfig files reveals that no entry currently
uses "select PROC_FS" -- every one uses "depends on".  Thus CONFIG_NFSD_V4
should use "depends on PROC_FS" as well.

Chuck Lever 6aaa67b5f3 NFSD: Remove redundant "select" clauses in fs/Kconfig
As far as I can tell, selecting the CRYPTO and CRYPTO_MD5 entries under
CONFIG_NFSD is redundant, since CONFIG_NFSD_V4 already selects
RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5, which selects these entries.

Testing with "make menuconfig" shows that the entries under CRYPTO still
properly reflect "Y" or "M" based on the setting of CONFIG_NFSD after this
change is applied.

Likewise, distros usually leave CONFIG_NFSD_TCP enabled.

TCP support in the Linux NFS server is stable enough that we can leave it

"Y" anyway.

ocfs2 now supports plug-ins for the classic O2CB stack as well as
userspace cluster stacks in conjunction with fs/dlm.  This allows zero,
one, or both of the plug-ins to be selected in Kconfig.  For local mounts
(non-clustered), neither plug-in is needed.  Both plugins can be loaded
at one time, the runtime will select the one needed for the cluster
systme in use.

James Lentini 3211e4eb58 SUNRPC xptrdma: simplify build configuration
Trond and Bruce,

This is a patch for 2.6.25. This is the same version that was sent out
on December 12 for review (no comments to date).

To simplify the RPC/RDMA client and server build configuration, make
SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA a hidden config option that continues to depend on
SUNRPC and INFINIBAND. The value of SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA will be:

 - N if either SUNRPC or INFINIBAND are N
 - M if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are on (M or Y) and at least one is M
 - Y if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are Y

In 2.6.25, all of the RPC/RDMA related files are grouped in
net/sunrpc/xprtrdma and the net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/Makefile builds both
the client and server RPC/RDMA support using this config option.
