Subject: [PATCH 0/2] nfsd: remove legacy tracking methods
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:14:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923-nfsd-legacy-v1-0-8490c0c12ea5@kernel.org> (raw)
Around three years ago, we added CONFIG_NFSD_LEGACY_CLIENT_TRACKING with
the intent to eventually remove the code that it compiles in when
enabled. A little over a year ago, we switched the default for it to
"n".
All of the major distros now disable this option, so finish the job by
finally removing the config option altogether. With this, nfsdcld
becomes the sole way to do v4 recovery tracking.
This also finally gets rid of the dependency on MD5 hashing that the
legacy recdir method used, which will mean that FIPS auditors will stop
dinging us too.
I think we should shoot for putting this in v7.5. Anyone have
objections?
