commit 555dbf1a9aac6d3150c8b52fa35f768a692f4eeb upstream. The nfsd_file nf_rwsem is currently being used to separate file write and commit instances to ensure that we catch errors and apply them to the correct write/commit. We can improve scalability at the expense of a little accuracy (some extra false positives) by replacing the nf_rwsem with more careful use of the errseq_t mechanism to track errors across the different operations.

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.
