The SUNRPC credential framework was put together before Linux has 'struct cred'. Now that we have it, it makes sense to use it. This first step just includes a suitable 'struct cred *' pointer in every 'struct auth_cred' and almost every 'struct rpc_cred'. The rpc_cred used for auth_null has a NULL 'struct cred *' as nothing else really makes sense. For rpc_cred, the pointer is reference counted. For auth_cred it isn't. struct auth_cred are either allocated on the stack, in which case the thread owns a reference to the auth, or are part of 'struct generic_cred' in which case gc_base owns the reference, and "acred" shares it.

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 Restructured Text 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.
