The LOCALIO auxiliary RPC protocol consists of a single "UUID_IS_LOCAL" RPC method that allows the Linux NFS client to verify the local Linux NFS server can see the nonce (single-use UUID) the client generated and made available in nfs_common for subsequent lookup and verification by the NFS server. If matched, the NFS server populates members in the nfs_uuid_t struct. The NFS client then transfers these nfs_uuid_t struct member pointers to the nfs_client struct and cleans up the nfs_uuid_t struct. See: fs/nfs/localio.c:nfs_local_probe() This protocol isn't part of an IETF standard, nor does it need to be considering it is Linux-to-Linux auxiliary RPC protocol that amounts to an implementation detail. Localio is only supported when UNIX-style authentication (AUTH_UNIX, aka AUTH_SYS) is used (enforced by fs/nfs/localio.c:nfs_local_probe()). The UUID_IS_LOCAL method encodes the client generated uuid_t in terms of the fixed UUID_SIZE (16 bytes). The fixed size opaque encode and decode XDR methods are used instead of the less efficient variable sized methods. Having a nonce (single-use uuid) is better than using the same uuid for the life of the server, and sending it proactively by client rather than reactively by the server is also safer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
