[PATCH RFC 00/15] Prototype implementation of RPC-with-TLS

[Chuck Lever]

This series implements RPC-with-TLS in the Linux kernel:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-rpc-tls/

This prototype is based on the previously posted mechanism for
providing a TLS handshake facility to in-kernel TLS consumers.

For the purpose of demonstration, the Linux NFS client is modified
to add a new mount option: xprtsec = [ none|auto|tls ] . Updates
to the nfs(5) man page are being developed separately.

The new mount option enables client administrators to require in-
transit encryption for their NFS traffic, protecting the weak
security of AUTH_SYS. An x.509 certificate is not required on the
client for this protection.

This prototype has been tested against prototype TLS-capable NFS
servers. The Linux NFS server itself does not yet have support for
RPC-with-TLS, but it is planned.

At a later time, the Linux NFS client will also get support for
x.509 authentication (for which a certificate will be required on
the client) and PSK. For this demonstration, only authentication-
less TLS (encryption-only) is supported.
