Subject: nfs gss context destruction

Hi Trond,

I'd like to know what your thoughts are on the method of providing
user-driver gss context destruction.

I have read mailing list discussion
http://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=138245168524204&w=2 from the earlier
attempt that Andy did in 2013. Suggestion was to propose a system call
interface to provide such functionality which I did.

I haven't had luck with VFS accepting functionality so I'm
pre-emptively asking about an alternative approach that NFS could use.
There is the original proposal to use a keyring, then there is pipe_fs
or I don't know maybe sysctl? Does one sound better than the other in
your opinion?

Thank you.
