When we open the shared root handle also ask for FILE_ALL_INFORMATION since we can do this at zero cost as part of a compound. Cache this information as long as the lease is held and return and serve any future requests from cache. This allows us to serve "stat /<mountpoint>" directly from cache and avoid a network roundtrip. Since clients often want to do this quite a lot this improve performance slightly. As an example: xfstest generic/533 performs 43 stat operations on the root of the share while it is run. Which are eliminated with this patch.

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.
