* NFS: rename nfs.upcall -> nfs.idmapBryan Schumaker2010-10-261-14/+14
| | | | | | | | | This patch renames the idmapper upcall program from nfs.upcall to nfs.idmap in the NFS documentation. This is because the program has been renamed in the nfs-utils source.

* NFS: new idmapperBryan Schumaker2010-10-071-0/+67
This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names. The old idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running at a single time. This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to finish before accessing a cached result. The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver. See the file Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt for instructions.
