With the new file caching infrastructure in nfsd, we can end up holding files open for an indefinite period of time, even when they are still idle. This may prevent the kernel from handing out leases on the file, which is something we don't want to block. Fix this by running a SRCU notifier call chain whenever on any lease attempt. nfsd can then purge the cache for that inode before returning. Since SRCU is only conditionally compiled in, we must only define the new chain if it's enabled, and users of the chain must ensure that SRCU is enabled.

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.
