Isn't the problem that Stanislav is trying to solve that we need to be
able to register and unregister RPC services to the correct rpcbind
server, depending on which net namespace we are in?

My understanding is that the current code will register everything to
whatever rpcbind server is running in the init net namespace because
that's what rpcb_create_local() uses.

My suggestion is to use a struct pernet_operations to detect when a net
namespace is being created or destroyed, so that the rpcbind client code
knows when to create or destroy a connection to the server that is
running in that namespace.

Cheers
