IMO you should get the cl_nodename in nsm_mon_unmon() from clnt->cl_nodename, and pass it in as part of *argp . The choice of which nodename to use is clearly a decision for an "upper layer" not a choice for the XDR functions.

Long ago I had patches which fixed this layering violation for a very similar purpose as yours, but they were never applied.

Ditto.
