2007-03-05 Thread NeilBrown
When the last thread of nfsd exits, it shuts down all related sockets. It currently uses svc_close_socket to do this, but that only is immediately effective if the socket is not SK_BUSY. If the socket is busy - i.e. if a request has arrived that has not yet been processes - svc_close_socket is

[PATCH 001 of 4] knfsd: Use recv_msg to get peer address for NFSD instead of code-copying

The sunrpc server code needs to know the source and destination address for UDP packets so it can reply properly. It currently copies code out of the network stack to pick the pieces out of the skb. This is ugly and causes compile problems with the IPv6 stuff. So, rip that out and use recv_msg
