On most filesystems, there is no reason to delay reaping an nfsd_file just because its underlying inode is still under writeback. nfsd just relies on client activity or the local flusher threads to do writeback. The main exception is NFS, which flushes all of its dirty data on last close. Add a new EXPORT_OP_FLUSH_ON_CLOSE flag to allow filesystems to signal that they do this, and only skip closing files under writeback on such filesystems. Also, remove a redundant NULL file pointer check in nfsd_file_check_writeback, and clean up nfs's export op flag definitions.

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.
