Add new funtion svcauth_map_clnt_to_svc_cred_local which maps a generic cred to a svc_cred suitable for use in nfsd. This is needed by the localio code to map nfs client creds to nfs server credentials. Following from net/sunrpc/auth_unix.c:unx_marshal() it is clear that ->fsuid and ->fsgid must be used (rather than ->uid and ->gid). In addition, these uid and gid must be translated with from_kuid_munged() so local client uses correct uid and gid when acting as local server. Jeff Layton noted: This is where the magic happens. Since we're working in kuid_t/kgid_t, we don't need to worry about further idmapping.

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.
