    SUNRPC: Fix a lock recursion in the auth_gss downcall · 8a317760
    Trond Myklebust authored
     When we look up a new cred in the auth_gss downcall so that we can stuff
     the credcache, we do not want that lookup to queue up an upcall in order
     to initialise it. To do an upcall here not only redundant, but since we
     are already holding the inode->i_mutex, it will trigger a lock recursion.
    
     This patch allows rpcauth cache searches to indicate that they can cope
     with uninitialised credentials.
