[ Upstream commit 6b8a94332ee4f7d9a8ae0cbac7609f79c212f06c ]
The call to filemap_flush() in nfsd_file_put() is there to ensure that
we clear out any writes belonging to a NFSv3 client relatively quickly
and avoid situations where the file can't be evicted by the garbage
collector. It also ensures that we detect write errors quickly.
The problem is this causes a regression in performance for some
workloads.
So try to improve matters by deferring writeback until we're ready to
close the file, and need to detect errors so that we can force the
client to resend.

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.
