[PATCH v2 12/13] sunrpc: add SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_FLUSH netlink command

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-03-25 14:41:11
Also in: linux-nfs, lkml
Subsystem: kernel nfsd, sunrpc, and lockd servers, networking [general], nfs, sunrpc, and lockd clients, the rest, yaml netlink (ynl) · Maintainers: Chuck Lever, Jeff Layton, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Trond Myklebust, Anna Schumaker, Linus Torvalds, Donald Hunter

Add a new SUNRPC_CMD_CACHE_FLUSH generic netlink command that allows
userspace to flush the sunrpc auth caches (ip_map and unix_gid) without
writing to /proc/net/rpc/*/flush.

An optional SUNRPC_A_CACHE_FLUSH_MASK u32 attribute selects which caches
to flush (bit 1 = ip_map, bit 2 = unix_gid). If the attribute is
omitted, all sunrpc caches are flushed.

This is used by exportfs to replace its /proc-based cache_flush() with a
netlink equivalent, with /proc fallback for older kernels.

Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>
