nfs: Referrals should use the same proto setting as their parent
Helen Chao <helen.chao@oracle.com> noticed that when a user traverses a referral on an NFS/RDMA mount, the resulting submount always uses TCP. This behavior does not match the vers= setting when traversing a referral (vers=4.1 is preserved). It also does not match the behavior of crossing from the pseudofs into a real filesystem (proto=rdma is preserved in that case). The Linux NFS client does not currently support the fs_locations_info attribute. The situation is similar for all NFSv4 servers I know of. Therefore until the community has broad support for fs_locations_info, when following a referral: - First try to connect with RPC-over-RDMA. This will fail quickly if the client has no RDMA-capable interfaces. - If connecting with RPC-over-RDMA fails, or the RPC-over-RDMA transport is not available, use TCP.
