From: Olaf Kirch Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 18:44:08 +0000 (-0500) Subject: SUNRPC: Auto-load RPC authentication kernel modules X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f344f6df;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git SUNRPC: Auto-load RPC authentication kernel modules This patch adds a request_module call to rpcauth_create which will try to auto-load the kernel module for the requested authentication flavor. For kernels with modular sunrpc, this reduces the admin overhead for the user.
