Currently the source's export is mounted and unmounted on every inter-server copy operation. This patch is an enhancement to delay the unmount of the source export for a certain period of time to eliminate the mount and unmount overhead on subsequent copy operations. After a copy operation completes, a work entry is added to the delayed unmount list with an expiration time. This list is serviced by the laundromat thread to unmount the export of the expired entries. Each time the export is being used again, its expiration time is extended and the entry is re-inserted to the tail of the list. The unmount task and the mount operation of the copy request are synced to make sure the export is not unmounted while it's being used. Signed-off-by: Dai Ngo <dai.ngo@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J.

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.
