Subject: sunrpc: add SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_FLUSH netlink command
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=565ee23ea2374a0ec42bb70227447baa81fcd196;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

sunrpc: add SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_FLUSH netlink command

Add a new SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_FLUSH generic netlink command that allows
userspace to flush the sunrpc auth caches (ip_map and unix_gid) without
writing to /proc/net/rpc/*/flush.

An optional SUNRPC_A_CACHE_FLUSH_MASK u32 attribute selects which caches
to flush (bit 1 = ip_map, bit 2 = unix_gid). If the attribute is
omitted, all sunrpc caches are flushed.

This is used by exportfs to replace its /proc-based cache_flush() with a
netlink equivalent, with /proc fallback for older kernels.
