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.
