+/*
+ *  linux/net/sunrpc/rpcclnt.c
+ *
+ *  This file contains the high-level RPC interface.
+ *  It is modeled as a finite state machine to support both synchronous
+ *  and asynchronous requests.
+ *
+ *  -	RPC header generation and argument serialization.
+ *  -	Credential refresh.
+ *  -	TCP connect handling.
+ *  -	Retry of operation when it is suspected the operation failed because
+ *	of uid squashing on the server, or when the credentials were stale
+ *	and need to be refreshed, or when a packet was damaged in transit.
+ *	This may be have to be moved to the VFS layer.
+ *
+ *  NB: BSD uses a more intelligent approach to guessing when a request
+ *  or reply has been lost by keeping the RTO estimate for each procedure.
+ *  We currently make do with a constant timeout value.
