Pull vfs fanotify fsid updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This work is part of the plan to enable fanotify to serve as a drop-in
  replacement for inotify. While inotify is availabe on all filesystems,
  fanotify currently isn't.

  In order to support fanotify on all filesystems two things are needed:

   (1) all filesystems need to support AT_HANDLE_FID

   (2) all filesystems need to report a non-zero f_fsid

  This contains (1) and allows filesystems to encode non-decodable file
  handlers for fanotify without implementing any exportfs operations by
  encoding a file id of type FILEID_INO64_GEN from i_ino and
  i_generation.

  Filesystems that want to opt out of encoding non-decodable file ids
  for fanotify that don't support NFS export can do so by providing an
  empty export_operations struct.

  This also partially addresses (2) by generating f_fsid for simple
  filesystems as well as freevxfs. Remaining filesystems will be dealt
  with by separate patches.

  Finally, this contains the patch from the current exportfs maintainers
  which moves exportfs under vfs with Chuck, Jeff, and Amir as
  maintainers and vfs.git as tree"

exportfs: make ->encode_fh() a mandatory method for NFS export
Rename the default helper for encoding FILEID_INO32_GEN* file handles to
generic_encode_ino32_fh() and convert the filesystems that used the
default implementation to use the generic helper explicitly.

After this change, exportfs_encode_inode_fh() no longer has a default
implementation to encode FILEID_INO32_GEN* file handles.

This is a step towards allowing filesystems to encode non-decodeable
file handles for fanotify without having to implement any
export_operations.

Alexander Aring 2dd10de8e6 lockd: introduce safe async lock op
This patch reverts mostly commit 40595cdc93 ("nfs: block notification
on fs with its own ->lock") and introduces an EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK
export flag to signal that the "own ->lock" implementation supports
async lock requests. The only main user is DLM that is used by GFS2 and
OCFS2 filesystem. Those implement their own lock() implementation and
return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED as return value. Since commit 40595cdc93
("nfs: block notification on fs with its own ->lock") the DLM
implementation were never updated. This patch should prepare for DLM
to set the EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK export flag and update the DLM
plock implementation regarding to it.

Linus Torvalds f35d170615 NFSD 6.6 Release Notes
I'm thrilled to announce that the Linux in-kernel NFS server now
 offers NFSv4 write delegations. A write delegation enables a client
 to cache data and metadata for a single file more aggressively,
 reducing network round trips and server workload. Many thanks to Dai
 Ngo for contributing this facility, and to Jeff Layton and Neil
 Brown for reviewing and testing it.
 
 This release also sees the removal of all support for DES- and
 triple-DES-based Kerberos encryption types in the kernel's SunRPC
 implementation. These encryption types have been deprecated by the
 Internet community for years and are considered insecure. This
 change affects both the in-kernel NFS client and server.
 
 The server's UDP and TCP socket transports have now fully adopted
 David Howells' new bio_vec iterator so that no more than one
 sendmsg() call is needed to transmit each RPC message. In
 particular, this helps kTLS optimize record boundaries when sending
 RPC-with-TLS replies, and it takes the server a baby step closer to
 handling file I/O via folios.
 
 We've begun work on overhauling the SunRPC thread scheduler to
 remove a costly linked-list walk when looking for an idle RPC
 service thread to wake. The pre-requisites are included in this
 release. Thanks to Neil Brown for his ongoing work on this
 improvement.

Amir Goldstein 304e9c83e8 exportfs: add explicit flag to request non-decodeable file handles
So far, all callers of exportfs_encode_inode_fh(), except for fsnotify's
show_mark_fhandle(), check that filesystem can decode file handles, but
we would like to add more callers that do not require a file handle that
can be decoded.

Introduce a flag to explicitly request a file handle that may not to be
decoded later and a wrapper exportfs_encode_fid() that sets this flag
and convert show_mark_fhandle() to use the new wrapper.

This will be used to allow adding fanotify support to filesystems that
do not support NFS export.

Chuck Lever a28faaddb2 Documentation: Add an explanation of NFSv4 client identifiers
To enable NFSv4 to work correctly, NFSv4 client identifiers have
to be globally unique and persistent over client reboots. We
believe that in many cases, a good default identifier can be
chosen and set when a client system is imaged.

Because there are many different ways a system can be imaged,
provide an explanation of how NFSv4 client identifiers and
principals can be set by install scripts and imaging tools.

Additional cases, such as NFSv4 clients running in containers, also
need unique and persistent identifiers. The Linux NFS community
sets forth this explanation to aid those who create and manage
container environments.

Jeff Layton 7f84b488f9 nfsd: close cached files prior to a REMOVE or RENAME that would replace target
It's not uncommon for some workloads to do a bunch of I/O to a file and
delete it just afterward. If knfsd has a cached open file however, then
the file may still be open when the dentry is unlinked. If the
underlying filesystem is nfs, then that could trigger it to do a
sillyrename.

On a REMOVE or RENAME scan the nfsd_file cache for open files that
correspond to the inode, and proactively unhash and put their
references. This should prevent any delete-on-last-close activity from
occurring, solely due to knfsd's open file cache.

This must be done synchronously though so we use the variants that call
flush_delayed_fput. There are deadlock possibilities if you call
flush_delayed_fput while holding locks, however. In the case of
nfsd_rename, we don't even do the lookups of the dentries to be renamed
until we've locked for rename.

Once we've figured out what the target dentry is for a rename, check to
see whether there are cached open files associated with it. If there
are, then unwind all of the locking, close them all, and then reattempt
the rename.

None of this is really necessary for "typical" filesystems though. It's
mostly of use for NFS, so declare a new export op flag and use that to
determine whether to close the files beforehand.

Jeff Layton ba5e8187c5 nfsd: allow filesystems to opt out of subtree checking
When we start allowing NFS to be reexported, then we have some problems
when it comes to subtree checking. In principle, we could allow it, but
it would mean encoding parent info in the filehandles and there may not
be enough space for that in a NFSv3 filehandle.

To enforce this at export upcall time, we add a new export_ops flag
that declares the filesystem ineligible for subtree checking.

Jeff Layton daab110e47 nfsd: add a new EXPORT_OP_NOWCC flag to struct export_operations
With NFSv3 nfsd will always attempt to send along WCC data to the
client. This generally involves saving off the in-core inode information
prior to doing the operation on the given filehandle, and then issuing a
vfs_getattr to it after the op.

Some filesystems (particularly clustered or networked ones) have an
expensive ->getattr inode operation. Atomicity is also often difficult
or impossible to guarantee on such filesystems. For those, we're best
off not trying to provide WCC information to the client at all, and to
simply allow it to poll for that information as needed with a GETATTR
RPC.

This patch adds a new flags field to struct export_operations, and
defines a new EXPORT_OP_NOWCC flag that filesystems can use to indicate
that nfsd should not attempt to provide WCC info in NFSv3 replies. It
also adds a blurb about the new flags field and flag to the exporting
documentation.

The server will also now skip collecting this information for NFSv2 as
well, since that info is never used there anyway.

Note that this patch does not add this flag to any filesystem
export_operations structures. This was originally developed to allow
reexporting nfs via nfsd.

Other filesystems may want to consider enabling this flag too. It's hard
to tell however which ones have export operations to enable export via
knfsd and which ones mostly rely on them for open-by-filehandle support,
so I'm leaving that up to the individual maintainers to decide. I am
cc'ing the relevant lists for those filesystems that I think may want to
consider adding this though.

Daniel W. S. Almeida 2f123b9a35 Documentation: convert nfs.txt to ReST
This patch converts nfs.txt to RST. It also moves it to admin-guide.
The reason for moving it is because this document contains information
useful for system administrators, as noted on the following paragraph:

'The purpose of this document is to provide information on some of the
special features of the NFS client that can be configured by system
administrators'.

The conversion itself was quite trivial: just add/mark a few

and a few blank lines, in order to make Sphinx to properly parse it.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to

already supported COPY, by copying a limited amount of data and then
 returning a short result, letting the client resend.  The asynchronous

 complexity.
 
 The other highlight is Trond's work to convert the duplicate reply cache

Henrik Austad a7ddcea58a Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.

The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)

A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.

A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
Documentation/spi: (1/0)
Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)

Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).

I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.

As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

Chris Novakovic c04d2cb200 ipconfig: Write NTP server IPs to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers
Distributed filesystems are most effective when the server and client
clocks are synchronised. Embedded devices often use NFS for their
root filesystem but typically do not contain an RTC, so the clocks of
the NFS server and the embedded device will be out-of-sync when the root
filesystem is mounted (and may not be synchronised until late in the
boot process).

Extend ipconfig with the ability to export IP addresses of NTP servers
it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers. They can be supplied as
follows:

 - If ipconfig is configured manually via the "ip=" or "nfsaddrs="
   kernel command line parameters, one NTP server can be specified in
   the new "<ntp0-ip>" parameter.
 - If ipconfig is autoconfigured via DHCP, request DHCP option 42 in
   the DHCPDISCOVER message, and record the IP addresses of up to three
   NTP servers sent by the responding DHCP server in the subsequent
   DHCPOFFER message.

ipconfig will only write the NTP server IP addresses it discovers to
/proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers, one per line (in the order received from
the DHCP server, if DHCP autoconfiguration is used); making use of these
NTP servers is the responsibility of a user space process (e.g. an
initrd/initram script that invokes an NTP client before mounting an NFS
root filesystem).

client's hostname), everything before the first "." is used as the

not necessarily the DNS domain name).

NeilBrown f1ee616214 VFS: don't keep disconnected dentries on d_anon
The original purpose of the per-superblock d_anon list was to
keep disconnected dentries in the cache between consecutive
requests to the NFS server.  Dentries can be disconnected if
a client holds a file open and repeatedly performs IO on it,
and if the server drops the dentry, whether due to memory
pressure, server restart, or "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches".

This purpose was thwarted by commit 75a6f82a0d ("freeing unlinked
file indefinitely delayed") which caused disconnected dentries
to be freed as soon as their refcount reached zero.

This means that, when a dentry being used by nfsd gets disconnected, a
new one needs to be allocated for every request (unless requests
overlap).  As the dentry has no name, no parent, and no children,
there is little of value to cache.  As small memory allocations are
typically fast (from per-cpu free lists) this likely has little cost.

This means that the original purpose of s_anon is no longer relevant:
there is no longer any need to keep disconnected dentries on a list so
they appear to be hashed.

However, s_anon now has a new use.  When you mount an NFS filesystem,
the dentry stored in s_root is just a placebo.  The "real" root dentry
is allocated using d_obtain_root() and so it kept on the s_anon list.
I don't know the reason for this, but suspect it related to NFSv4
where a mount of "server:/some/path" require NFS to look up the root
filehandle on the server, then walk down "/some" and "/path" to get
the filehandle to mount.

Whatever the reason, NFS depends on the s_anon list and on
shrink_dcache_for_umount() pruning all dentries on this list.  So we
cannot simply remove s_anon.

We could just leave the code unchanged, but apart from that being
potentially confusing, the (unfair) bit-spin-lock which protects
s_anon can become a bottle neck when lots of disconnected dentries are
being created.

So this patch renames s_anon to s_roots, and stops storing
disconnected dentries on the list.  Only dentries obtained with
d_obtain_root() are now stored on this list.  There are many fewer of
these (only NFS and NILFS2 use the call, and only during filesystem
mount) so contention on the bit-lock will not be a problem.

Possibly an alternate solution should be found for NFS and NILFS2, but
that would require understanding their needs first.

a client-id field which can be used to determine the correct
parameters to supply when no MAC address is available. There is
currently no way to tell the kernel to supply a specific client-id,
only the userspace dhcp clients support this feature, but this can
not be used when the network is needed before userspace is available
such as when the root filesystem is on NFS.

This patch is to be able to do something like "ip=dhcp,client_id_type,
client_id_value", as a kernel parameter to enable the kernel to
identify itself to the server.
