The cred is a machine_cred iff ->principal is set, so there is no need for the extra flag. There is one case which deserves some explanation. nfs4_root_machine_cred() calls rpc_lookup_machine_cred() with a NULL principal name which results in not getting a machine credential, but getting a root credential instead. This appears to be what is expected of the caller, and is clearly the result provided by both auth_unix and auth_gss which already ignore the flag.

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.
