There have been previous attempts to revert protocol tryout
algorithm from v4,v3,v2 to previous v2,v4,v3 :
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg89228.html
Apart from GETADDR/NAT issue originating that proposed change,
its possible that some legacy custom applications still use
v2 of protocol with libtirpc.
The change proposed here, introduces an environment variable
"RPCB_V2FIRST" so that, if defined, old behaviour is used.
This is more flexible and allow us to selectively pick what
application reverts to old behaviour instead of a system-wide
change.
Example :
$ tcpdump -s0 -i ens3 port 111 -w /tmp/capture.pcap &> /dev/null &
[1] 13016
$ rpcinfo -T tcp 172.23.1.225 100005 &> /dev/null
$ RPCB_V2FIRST=1 rpcinfo -T tcp 172.23.1.225 100005 &> /dev/null
$ pkill tcpdump
$ tshark -tad -nr /tmp/capture.pcap -Y portmap -T fields -e _ws.col.Info
V4 GETADDR Call
V4 GETADDR Reply (Call In 4)
V2 GETPORT Call MOUNT(100005) V:0 TCP
V2 GETPORT Reply (Call In 14) Port:20048
