Message-Id: <20240912225320.24178-1-pali@kernel.org> Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2024 00:53:20 +0200 From: Pali Rohár <pali@...nel.org> To: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@...cle.com>, Jeff Layton <jlayton@...nel.org>, Neil Brown <neilb@...e.de>, Olga Kornievskaia <okorniev@...hat.com>, Dai Ngo <Dai.Ngo@...cle.com>, Tom Talpey <tom@...pey.com> Cc: linux-nfs@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] lockd: Fix comment about NLMv3 backwards compatibility NLMv2 is completely different protocol than NLMv1 and NLMv3, and in original Sun implementation is used for RPC loopback callbacks from statd to lockd services. Linux does not use nor does not implement NLMv2. Hence, NLMv3 is not backward compatible with NLMv2. But NLMv3 is backward compatible with NLMv1. Fix comment.
