Highlights include:
Stable fixes:
- Add validation of the UDP retrans parameter to prevent shift out-of-bounds
- Don't discard pNFS layout segments that are marked for return
Bugfixes:
- Fix a NULL dereference crash in xprt_complete_bc_request() when the
NFSv4.1 server misbehaves.
- Fix the handling of NFS READDIR cookie verifiers
- Sundry fixes to ensure attribute revalidation works correctly when the
server does not return post-op attributes.
- nfs4_bitmask_adjust() must not change the server global bitmasks
- Fix major timeout handling in the RPC code.
- NFSv4.2 fallocate() fixes.
- Fix the NFSv4.2 SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA end-of-file handling
- Copy offload attribute revalidation fixes
- Fix an incorrect filehandle size check in the pNFS flexfiles driver
- Fix several RDMA transport setup/teardown races
- Fix several RDMA queue wrapping issues
- Fix a misplaced memory read barrier in sunrpc's call_decode()
Features:
- Micro optimisation of the TCP transmission queue using TCP_CORK
- statx() performance improvements by further splitting up the tracking
of invalid cached file metadata.
- Support the NFSv4.2 "change_attr_type" attribute and use it to
optimise handling of change attribute updates.

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.
