From 4b9a445e3eeb8bd9278b1ae51c1b3a651e370cd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2013 07:25:17 -0500 Subject: sunrpc: create a new dummy pipe for gssd to hold open rpc.gssd will naturally hold open any pipe named */clnt*/gssd that shows up under rpc_pipefs. That behavior gives us a reliable mechanism to tell whether it's actually running or not. Create a new toplevel "gssd" directory in rpc_pipefs when it's mounted. Under that directory create another directory called "clntXX", and then within that a pipe called "gssd". We'll never send an upcall along that pipe, and any downcall written to it will just return -EINVAL.
