Hi Neil, hi Steve
In Debian for the update including the systemd/50-nfs.conf there was a
report that sunrpc is not included anymore in the initrd through the
initramfs-tools hooks.
The report is at https://bugs.debian.org/1022172
Marco d'Intri suggested there three possible solutions, of which one
could be done in nfs-utils (whereas the other two are either in kmod
upstream or initramfs-tools upstream). The nfs-utils one would be to
replace the modprobe configuration with a set of udev rules instead.
This series reverts the commit wich intorduce the use of the modprobe
configuration and instead replaces it with an udev rule which triggers
setting the sysctl settings when the respective modules are loaded
Regards,
Salvatore

This reverts commit 7d76dd2e6f09a141eb6303b7343baa5c4f9c85ad.
As part of the full revert of adding support via modprobe.d
configuration to set sysctl settings of NFS-related modules when loading
the modules.
The approach caused problems with sysctl from busybox and with kmod as
reported in Debian (https://bugs.debian.org/1024082)

sysctl settings (e.g. /etc/sysctl.conf and others) are normally loaded
once at boot. If the module that implements some settings is no yet
loaded, those settings don't get applied.
Various NFS modules support various sysctl settings. If they are loaded
after boot, they miss out.
Add a new udev rule configuration to udev/rules.d/60-nfs.rules to apply
the relevant settings when the module is loaded.
Placing it in the systemd directory similarly as the coice for the
original commit afc7132dfb21 ("systemd: Apply all sysctl settings when
NFS-related modules are loaded").

Thanks for taking care of this problem, Salvatore!
AFAICT even latest busybox's sysctl does not support the `--pattern`
option yet:
| sysctl: unrecognized option '--pattern'
| BusyBox v1.35.0 (Debian 1:1.35.0-4) multi-call binary.
| [....]
So any initramfs that uses busybox and its sysctl (like in Debian)
and trying to apply above udev rules might fail?
regards

Thanks to you for prodding about it, hope to bring the issue bit
forward with the series proposal.

But would this actually be a problem for us here? There is no hook
script which would copy the 60-nfs.rules (not relevant in initrd) to
the initrd. The rule only would apply on module load outside the
initrd.
There is only a subset of rules which would be copied into initrd,
like the ones in hook/udev. But 60-nfs.rules would be specific to
nfs-utils, which does not provide a initramfs-tools hook to include
the rules into initrd.
Now the question you raise, is, do they need to be handled actually
already as well in initrd? You are correct, when handled through the
previous mechanism with modrobe.d configuration, 50-nfs.conf was added
to initramfs:
usr/lib/modprobe.d/50-nfs.conf
(and causing the issues seen).
Please correct me if I missed something from the picture.
Regards,
Salvatore
