NFSv4.1 (sessions) Todo List
* [2008-04-07] Support concurrent nfsv4.0 and 4.1.
o Get rid of global nfs4_procedures and move the pointer to struct nfs_client. (TBD)
o nfs_version4 should not be global. We apparently need to either:
+ Split nfs_version and nfs_program to nfs_{version,program}4 and nfs_{version,program}41, make them static in fs/nfs/client.c and use either based on minorversion, or
+ teach rpc code, e.g. rpc_bind_new_program about minor version (and represent it in struct rpc_version). (TBD)
o Manage callback threads for 4.0 and 4.1
+ Can either keep a separate use count, or
+ bring them up and down together. (TBD)
* [2008-04-07] Prepare and send nfs41 patches for review. (bhalevy)
o Depends on support for concurrent 4.0 and 4.1 mounts.
* [2008-04-07] Add an option for nfsv4.1 to the nfs mount program.
o "{nfs,}vers=41" seems to be the most appropriate. See nfs_mount_option_tokens in fs/nfs/super.c. Note that kernel nfs root (in fs/nfs/nfsroot.c does not current (2.6.25-rc8) support root over nfsv4 only "nfsvers=[23]".
