glebius added a child revision: D48554: kgssapi: remove the gssd_syscall.

I think this looks fine. I cannot exactly remember what
the gssd_syscall("") did (it indicated the daemon was going away),
but I'll assume you no longer need it?

Does the kernel code know that the daemon has gone away so
that it will no longer attempt an upcall?

Kernel will timeout the call. There is no way to quickly tell if there are any netlink listeners on the userland side. If we want to make a faster reaction of kernel to daemon failure we can play with timeouts algorithm. E.g. after first failure switch to very short timeout, so that we return in 1 second, but still leaving a chance for daemon to come up and then we will switch to a normal mode.
