[ Upstream commit 66af25799940b26efd41ea6e648f75c41a48a2c2 ] This patch provides courteous server support for delegation only. Only expired client with delegation but no conflict and no open or lock state is allowed to be in COURTESY state. Delegation conflict with COURTESY/EXPIRABLE client is resolved by setting it to EXPIRABLE, queue work for the laundromat and return delay to the caller. Conflict is resolved when the laudromat runs and expires the EXIRABLE client while the NFS client retries the OPEN request. Local thread request that gets conflict is doing the retry in _break_lease. Client in COURTESY or EXPIRABLE state is allowed to reconnect and continues to have access to its state. Access to the nfs4_client by the reconnecting thread and the laundromat is serialized via the client_lock. Reviewed-by: J.

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.
