[RFC PATCH 4/5] SUNRPC: put pipefs superblock link on networknamespace

From: Stanislav Kinsbursky
Date: Mon Oct 17 2011 - 08:10:58 EST


We have modules (like, pNFS blocklayout module) which creates pipes on
rpc_pipefs. Thus we need per-net operations for them. To make it possible to
create piepes in per-net operations, we require super block. So we have to put
sb link on network namespace context. Note, that dont't hardly require to
create pipes in per-net operations. IOW, if pipefs wan't mounted yet, that no
sb link reference will peresent on network namespace. In this case we just
passing through pipe
creation. The pipe will be created druing pipefs mount notification.
