    SUNRPC: Add svc_rqst::rq_auth_stat · 438623a0
    Chuck Lever authored
    I'd like to take commit 4532608d
    
     ("SUNRPC: Clean up generic
    dispatcher code") even further by using only private local SVC
    dispatchers for all kernel RPC services. This change would enable
    the removal of the logic that switches between
    svc_generic_dispatch() and a service's private dispatcher, and
    simplify the invocation of the service's pc_release method
    so that humans can visually verify that it is always invoked
    properly.
    
    All that will come later.
    
    First, let's provide a better way to return authentication errors
    from SVC dispatcher functions. Instead of overloading the dispatch
    method's *statp argument, add a field to struct svc_rqst that can
    hold an error value.
