NFS: Add the mount option "nosharecache"

2007-07-11T03:40:48Z

Prior to David Howell's mount changes in 2.6.18, users who mounted different directories which happened to be from the same filesystem on the server would get different super blocks, and hence could choose different mount options. As long as there were no hard linked files that crossed from one subtree to another, this was quite safe. Post the changes, if the two directories are on the same filesystem (have the same 'fsid'), they will share the same super block, and hence the same mount options. Add a flag to allow users to elect not to share the NFS super block with another mount point, even if the fsids are the same. This will allow users to set different mount options for the two different super blocks, as was previously possible. It is still up to the user to ensure that there are no cache coherency issues when doing this, however the default behaviour will be to share super blocks whenever two paths result in the same fsid.

Define the new NFSv4 data structure for passing user information from the 'mount' program in nfs4_mount.h. If CONFIG_NFS_V4 is defined Add code to parse the mount structure into the superblock. Declare the NFSv4 filesystem to the VFS.
