    NFS: new idmapper · 955a857e
    Bryan Schumaker authored
    This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to
    place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names.  The old
    idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running
    at a single time.  This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to
    finish before accessing a cached result.
    
    The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver.  See the file
    Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt for instructions.
