This release is mostly bug fixes, clean-ups, and optimizations. One notable set of fixes addresses a subtle buffer overflow issue that occurs if a small RPC Call message arrives in an oversized RPC record. This is only possible on a framed RPC transport such as TCP. Because NFSD shares the receive and send buffers in one set of pages, an oversized RPC record steals pages from the send buffer that will be used to construct the RPC Reply message. NFSD must not assume that a full-sized buffer is always available to it; otherwise, it will walk off the end of the send buffer while constructing its reply. In this release, we also introduce the ability for the server to wait a moment for clients to return delegations before it responds with NFS4ERR_DELAY. This saves a retransmit and a network round- trip when a delegation recall is needed. This work will be built upon in future releases. The NFS server adds another shrinker to its collection. Because courtesy clients can linger for quite some time, they might be freeable when the server host comes under memory pressure. A new shrinker has been added that releases courtesy client resources during low memory scenarios. Lastly, of note: the maximum number of operations per NFSv4 COMPOUND that NFSD can handle is increased from 16 to 50. There are NFSv4 client implementations that need more than 16 to successfully perform a mount operation that uses a pathname with many components. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEKLLlsBKG3yQ88j7+M2qzM29mf5cFAmM66P4ACgkQM2qzM29m f5fhMg//afS2mp4fgPz4MjoFIqD/Icep8qFEPA8Gy6I1dDGRxd9wNgjoN4JALFdr NKX1oRVISBvDrOG/C84GbYnXEDlzY8q1HmyPoJA8VAR57hnJXfPZN6CBN//Bx4mU nISPJeNGY9SMNVhS8916V/yzd41uWDQuD+H+i5mluBTJHONgSzwzc80sQ+eq+yZQ PV6mlJN6hcm14LCaDOTXF7oY2Wm6dQc2rV87YChJWnc+vdXKnme/LWTMY1ABkePD g88mSL6w3YDKEuKciWda5/QU1ETp/Q7XTjFGDKEQSnnNsvCLmUKogJTKVa2QqyLY P1qlrj6XwukqAe414W4amlLL3q4NUFmJZPNWDxdf+qtTrQrBBEFrsKy/bSt27XoD cTvBWcorMG2riSlYPViVeh8RpyC6qwhttPbvGAmflVF2KEyXpfgc5Pnn0/Xm1Ac9 XKzaCTJlUyRb/2wdqVtQbIpyh3sbhzp8zhv7sWKXgQOEXxKOO3ZAIrQXeL6oFN/b HlXDty7wKhFRj8IbkZfQ9SvN1saTONwB3clYHbCXTetkw/nnrUgLYcu8NIDBK9ou wkBcz1++XgVTqjRFwUwagb62cPJnRM6UiROYCVbQp7qcUe4/U+WP9t6dnZlnGZVZ dtipKlH/LTGKW+d7ysZOqb4hsRza5Kaduz5a7lML7UIGQXmxjM0= =hE6t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'nfsd-6.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: "This release is mostly bug fixes, clean-ups, and optimizations.
