Subject: [PATCH 00/25] RFC: AF_INET6 family support for the NFS client
Date: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 11:30 am

These 25 patches add support for AF_INET6 addresses to the NFS client.
This is a request for review of the proposed changes.

This series does not add support for AF_INET6 addresses to the Linux
NLM or NSM implementations, nor does it add support in the NFS server.

To use an IPv6 NFS server, the mount.nfs command will pass in an IPv6
server address via the "addr" option.  IPv6 support in mount.nfs is yet
to be implemented.

This series has been tested only with IPv4 addresses to ensure there are no
regressions.  Groupe Bull has tested earlier versions of these changes with
other IPv6 NFS server implementations to sanity check the architecture.
