NFS needs to know when a credential is about to expire so that it can modify write-back behaviour to finish the write inside the expiry time. It currently uses functions in SUNRPC code which make use of a fairly complex callback scheme and flags in the generic credientials. As I am working to discard the generic credentials, this has to change. This patch moves the logic into NFS, in part by finding and caching the low-level credential in the open_context. We then make direct cred-api calls on that. This makes the code much simpler and removes a dependency on generic rpc credentials.

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.
