linux.git/fs/nfs/cache_lib.h, branch v2.6.35 Linux kernel source tree NFS: Add a dns resolver for use with NFSv4 referrals and migration 2009-08-19T22:22:15+00:00 Trond Myklebust Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com 2009-08-19T22:12:27+00:00 e571cbf1a4f8d8b6cfd4898df718dae84c75a8e1 The NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 protocols both allow for the redirection of a client from one server to another in order to support filesystem migration and replication. For full protocol support, we need to add the ability to convert a DNS host name into an IP address that we can feed to the RPC client. We'll reuse the sunrpc cache, now that it has been converted to work with rpc_pipefs. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
