[PATCH v2 0/5] nfsd/sunrpc: allow userland to handle rpcbind registration

[Jeff Layton]

While working on the recent hardening patches for the nfsd listener
netlink interface, Chuck mentioned that we could allow userland to
handle rpcbind registation itself.

This adds such a mechanism to the netlink listener set interface. The
main idea is to add a new optional flag to the netlink downcall that
tells the kernel to skip rpcbind registration altogether for the nfsd
listeners.

Note that NLM registration is not affected and is still handled by the
kernel.  Handling that is trickier since it can be started by the
client.

Patches to nfsdctl will follow.

Changes in v2:
- Refuse the legacy portlist add-fd write against a userspace-rpcbind
  serv. nfsd_create_serv() cannot flip ownership back for an existing
  serv, svc_addsock() expects svc_register() to register the listener,
  and there is no way to tell the rpcbind owner about it.
- selftests: require NFSv3 in the reply and skip where NFSv4 is not
  built, rather than passing when neither is present.
- selftests: cover the portlist refusal.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260910-nfsd-norpcb-v1-0-b4d5182d634c@xxxxxxxxxx
