[ Upstream commit 4271c2c0887562318a0afef97d32d8a71cbe0743 ] Currently there is no limit on how many v4 clients are supported by the system. This can be a problem in systems with small memory configuration to function properly when a very large number of clients exist that creates memory shortage conditions. This patch enforces a limit of 1024 NFSv4 clients, including courtesy clients, per 1GB of system memory. When the number of the clients reaches the limit, requests that create new clients are returned with NFS4ERR_DELAY and the laundromat is kicked start to trim old clients. Due to the overhead of the upcall to remove the client record, the maximun number of clients the laundromat removes on each run is limited to 128. This is done to ensure the laundromat can still process the other tasks in a timely manner. Since there is now a limit of the number of clients, the 24-hr idle time limit of courtesy client is no longer needed and was removed.

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.
