SUNRPC: Support for RPC over AF_LOCAL transports
TI-RPC introduces the capability of performing RPC over AF_LOCAL sockets. It uses this mainly for registering and unregistering local RPC services securely with the local rpcbind, but we could also conceivably use it as a generic upcall mechanism. This patch provides a client-side only implementation for the moment. We might also consider a server-side implementation to provide AF_LOCAL access to NLM (for statd downcalls, and such like). Autobinding is not supported on kernel AF_LOCAL transports at this time. Kernel ULPs must specify the pathname of the remote endpoint when an AF_LOCAL transport is created. rpcbind supports registering services available via AF_LOCAL, so the kernel could handle it with some adjustment to ->rpcbind and ->set_port. But we don't need this feature for doing upcalls via well-known named sockets. This has not been tested with ULPs that move a substantial amount of data. Thus, I can't attest to how robust the write_space and congestion management logic is. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
