Linus Torvalds f90497a16e NFSD 6.1 Release Notes

This release is mostly bug fixes, clean-ups, and optimizations.
 
 One notable set of fixes addresses a subtle buffer overflow issue
 that occurs if a small RPC Call message arrives in an oversized
 RPC record. This is only possible on a framed RPC transport such
 as TCP.
 
 Because NFSD shares the receive and send buffers in one set of
 pages, an oversized RPC record steals pages from the send buffer
 that will be used to construct the RPC Reply message. NFSD must
 not assume that a full-sized buffer is always available to it;
 otherwise, it will walk off the end of the send buffer while
 constructing its reply.
 
 In this release, we also introduce the ability for the server to
 wait a moment for clients to return delegations before it responds
 with NFS4ERR_DELAY. This saves a retransmit and a network round-
 trip when a delegation recall is needed. This work will be built
 upon in future releases.
 
 The NFS server adds another shrinker to its collection. Because
 courtesy clients can linger for quite some time, they might be
 freeable when the server host comes under memory pressure. A new
 shrinker has been added that releases courtesy client resources
 during low memory scenarios.
 
 Lastly, of note: the maximum number of operations per NFSv4
 COMPOUND that NFSD can handle is increased from 16 to 50. There
 are NFSv4 client implementations that need more than 16 to
 successfully perform a mount operation that uses a pathname
 with many components.
