This is a bug fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=830862.
The problem is that with NFSv4 mount in container (with separated mount
namesapce) and active lock on it, dying child reaped of this container will
try to umount NFS and doing this will try to create RPC client to send
unmonitor request to statd.
But creation of RCP client requires valid current->nsproxy (for operation with
utsname()) and during umount on child reaper exit it's equal to zero.
Proposed solution is to introduce refrence-counter per-net NSM client, which
is created on fist monitor call and destroyed after the lst monitor call.
The following series implements...

Taking hostname from uts namespace if not safe, because this cuold be
performind during umount operation on child reaper death. And in this case
current->nsproxy is NULL already.

NSM RPC client can be required on NFSv3 umount, when child reaper is dying (and
destroying it's mount namespace). It means, that current nsproxy is set to
NULL already, but creation of RPC client requires UTS namespace for gaining
hostname string.
This patch introduces reference counted NFS RPC clients creation and
destruction helpers (similar to RPCBIND RPC clients).

This patch creates reference-counted per-net NSM client on first monitor

IMO you should get the cl_nodename in nsm_mon_unmon() from clnt->cl_nodename, and pass it in as part of *argp . The choice of which nodename to use is clearly a decision for an "upper layer" not a choice for the XDR functions.
Long ago I had patches which fixed this layering violation for a very similar purpose as yours, but they were never applied.

The NSM upcall transport is a potential application for TCP + softconn, now that a persistent rpc_clnt is used. It just depends on what failure mode we'd like to optimize for.

I like it. Thanks.

I don't understand, where the problem is.
Could you be more specific, please?

I'm suggesting an enhancement.
The change is to use TCP for the NSM upcall transport, and set RPC_TASK_SOFTCONN on the individual RPCs. The advantage of this is that the kernel could discover when statd is not running and fail the upcall immediately, rather than waiting possibly many seconds for each upcall RPC to time out.
The client already has a check in the mount.nfs command to see that statd is running, likely to avoid this lengthly timeout. Since the client already has long-standing logic to avoid it, I think the benefit would be mostly on the server side.
But this change can be done at some later point.

Ok, thanks.
Sounds reasonable to me.
I'll do so.
