NFS: Add an "xprtsec=" NFS mount option
After some discussion, we decided that controlling transport layer security policy should be separate from the setting for the user authentication flavor. To accomplish this, add a new NFS mount option to select a transport layer security policy for RPC operations associated with the mount point. xprtsec=none - Transport layer security is forced off. xprtsec=tls - Establish an encryption-only TLS session. If the initial handshake fails, the mount fails. If TLS is not available on a reconnect, drop the connection and try again. xprtsec=mtls - Both sides authenticate and an encrypted session is created. If the initial handshake fails, the mount fails. If TLS is not available on a reconnect, drop the connection and try again. To support client peer authentication (mtls), the handshake daemon will have configurable default authentication material (certificate or pre-shared key). In the future, mount options can be added that can provide this material on a per-mount basis. Updates to mount.nfs (to support xprtsec=auto) and nfs(5) will be sent under separate cover.
