When NFS creates a machine credential, it is a "generic" credential, not tied to any auth protocol, and is really just a container for the princpal name. This doesn't get linked to a genuine credential until rpcauth_bindcred() is called. The lookup always succeeds, so various places that test if the machine credential is NULL, are pointless. As a step towards getting rid of generic credentials, this patch gets rid of generic machine credentials. The nfs_client and rpc_client just hold a pointer to a constant principal name. When a machine credential is wanted, a special static 'struct rpc_cred' pointer is used. rpcauth_bindcred() recognizes this, finds the principal from the client, and binds the correct credential.

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.
