* doc: fix broken referencesPaul Bolle2011-09-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

* 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.
