Hi,
while trying to make the diskless stuff work with 2.2, I encountered
the following problem. In order to get access to the swapfile, the code
(either netboot or kernel bootp) does a mount of the directory
containing the swapfile, and LOOKUP the swapfile itself.
in netboot, this is done by issuing an RPC call to NFS_LOOKUP which is
defined as follows:
/sys/i386/boot/netboot/netboot.h:#define NFS_LOOKUP 4
In the kernel bootp code, this is done by issuing an RPC to NFSPROC_LOOKUP,
which is defined as follows:
2.1R: /sys/nfs/nfsv2.h: #define NFSPROC_LOOKUP 4
2.2R: /sys/nfs/nfsproto.h: #define NFSPROC_LOOKUP 3
Ouch!...
Well I replaced NFSPROC_LOOKUP with NFSV2PROC_LOOKUP and the lookup
succeeds, and the swap is mounted correctly (and the diskless
machine seems to work, modulo some minor permission problems...).
At this point I am wondering if there might be some missing
translation (via nfsv2_procid[]) when calling the nfs routines. I
am particularly worried about userland stuff...
Also, I notice we still have /sys/nfs/nfsv2.h which is obsolete, and
all it does is #include "nfsproto.h". Would it be possible to remove it
(and fix the parts which still include it) or at least make it a link
to nfsproto.h ?
