SUNRPC: Register both netids for AF_INET6 servers
TI-RPC is a user-space library of RPC functions that replaces ONC RPC and allows RPC to operate in the new world of IPv6. TI-RPC combines the concept of a transport protocol (UDP and TCP) and a protocol family (PF_INET and PF_INET6) into a single identifier called a "netid." For example, "udp" means UDP over IPv4, and "udp6" means UDP over IPv6. For rpcbind, then, the RPC service tuple that is registered and advertised is: [RPC program, RPC version, service address and port, netid] instead of [RPC program, RPC version, port, protocol] Service address is typically ANYADDR, but can be a specific address of one of the interfaces on a multi-homed host. The third item in the new tuple is expressed as a universal address. The current Linux rpcbind implementation registers a netid for both protocol families when RPCB_SET is done for just the PF_INET6 version of the netid (ie udp6 or tcp6). So registering "udp6" causes a registration for "udp" to appear automatically as well. We've recently determined that this is incorrect behavior. In the TI-RPC world, "udp6" is not meant to imply that the registered RPC service handles requests from AF_INET as well, even if the listener socket does address mapping. "udp" and "udp6" are entirely separate capabilities, and must be registered separately. The Linux kernel, unlike TI-RPC, leverages address mapping to allow a single listener socket to handle requests for both AF_INET and AF_INET6. This is still OK, but the kernel currently assumes registering "udp6" will cover "udp" as well. It registers only "udp6" for it's AF_INET6 services, even though they handle both AF_INET and AF_INET6 on the same port. So svc_register() actually needs to register both "udp" and "udp6" explicitly (and likewise for TCP). Until rpcbind is fixed, the kernel can ignore the return code for the second RPCB_SET call.
