From a534ecb013bfc58a7f03653c7f2976bc341da98f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2018 11:30:30 +1100 Subject: NFSv4: add cl_root_cred for use when machine cred is not available. NFSv4 state management tries a root credential when no machine credential is available, as can happen with kerberos. It does this by replacing the cl_machine_cred with a root credential. This means that any user of the machine credential needs to take a lock while getting a reference to the machine credential, which is a little cumbersome. So introduce an explicit cl_root_cred, and never free either credential until client shutdown. This means that no locking is needed to reference these credentials. Future patches will make use of this. This is only a temporary addition. both cl_machine_cred and cl_root_cred will disappear later in the series.
