Subject[PATCH 0/6] nfsd: make is works in a container
From
Date
This patch set finally enables NFSd in container.
I've tested it in container with it's own root, and also pid, net and mount
namespaces.

There are some limitations, which are listed below:
1) only nfsdclt client tracker supported for container. It's deprecated and
going to be removed soon. UMH tracker requires switching root. Legacy tracker
requires something like RB tree of opened inodes to make sure, that any
recovery directory will be opened only once.
2) Enabled versions are controlled globally, which is should be fixed.
3) Server should be stopped by writing "0" to
/proc/fs/nfsd/threads instead of sending signals to NFSd threads (they are
working in init_pid). Sending signals will either won't work if container wich
its own pid namespace, or will kill all nfsd threads for all containers in
init_pid namesapce.
4) Currently, if container was stopped without stopping NFS server (i.e. it's
init was killed), NFSd kthreads will remain running. One of possible solutions
is to not hold network by NFSd service sockets, but register oer-net callback
and kill all the threads on network namespace exit.
5) NFSd filesystem superblock holds network namespace. I.e. if some process
will hold container's NFSd supeblock, then sthe whole container's network
naemspace will stay alive even is container is destroyed already.

There may be more limitations, which are not clear to me yet.

The following series implements...

Stanislav Kinsbursky (6):
nfsd: pass proper net to nfsd_destroy() from NFSd kthreads
nfsd: swap fs root in NFSd kthreads
nfsd: make containerise NFSd filesystem
nfsd: use proper net while reading "exports" file
nfsd: disable usermode helper client tracker in container
nfsd: enable NFSv4 state in containers
