Actually, Chuck's patch and Steve's aren't quite the same.
Both patches
fix the problem that the portmap daemon requires a request to
set something
to come from a reserved port. In addition to this, Steve's
patch reduces
the number of reserved ports that the kernel requires. This
is the problem
that resulted in pmap_create() being incorrectly modified in
the first
place.
Steve's patch correctly puts the support in rpc_getport()
where it belongs.
mine does too. pmap_create() is used for both GET and SET, and i added
a parm to allow pmap_create()'s caller to request a reserved port when
needed.
Hmmm. That's not the patch that Andrew Morton included in his email to
linux-kernel then. That patch just removed the line to set xprt->resvport
to 0. That one fixed problem but not the other.
Thanx...
