Message-ID: <20131113162116.GA14577@infradead.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: >From a lot of the recent work it seems like there's basically no sharing of protocol definitions between the Linux NFS client and server, which seems fairly annoying to me. Is there a good historic reason for this and did we ever attempt to change it? Maybe even use some kernel-specific rpcgen variant to generate them directly from the spec?
