We introduce "courteous server" in this release. Previously NFSD would purge open and lock state for an unresponsive client after one lease period (typically 90 seconds). Now, after one lease period, another client can open and lock those files and the unresponsive client's lease is purged; otherwise if the unrespon- sive client's open and lock state is uncontended, the server retains that open and lock state for up to 24 hours, allowing the client's workload to resume after a lengthy network partition. A longstanding issue with NFSv4 file creation is also addressed. Previously a file creation can fail internally, returning an error to the client, but leave the newly created file in place as an artifact. The file creation code path has been reorganized so that internal failures and race conditions are less likely to result in an unwanted file creation. A fault injector has been added to help exercise paths that are run during kernel metadata cache invalidation. These caches contain information maintained by user space about exported filesystems. Many of our test workloads do not trigger cache invalidation. There is one patch that is needed to support PREEMPT_RT and a fix for an ancient "sleep while spin-locked" splat that seems to have become easier to hit since v5.18-rc3. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEKLLlsBKG3yQ88j7+M2qzM29mf5cFAmKPliAACgkQM2qzM29m f5dB3BAAorPa2L8xu5P1Ge1oTNogNSOVRkLPDzEkfEwK07ZM2qvz78eMZGkMziJ/ strorvBWl3SWBlVtTePgNpJUjgYQ75MRRwaX7Qh2WuHeRKm1JlZm0/NId3+zKgbh N40QI20jdswWcNDuhidxVFFWurd09GlcM4z1cu8gZLbfthkiUOjZoPiLkXeNcvhk 7wC9GiueWxHefYQQDAKh1nQS/L0GG1EkzJdJo7WUVAldZ9qVY9LpmJVMRqrBBbta XrFYfpeY1zFFDY4Qolyz5PUJSeQuDj9PctlhoZ6B1hp56PD/6yaqVhYXiPxtlALj tITtktfiekULZkgfvfvyzssCv+wkbYiaEBZcSSCauR7dkGOmBmajO+cf7vpsERgE fbCU8DWGk78SMeehdCrO+26cV37VP+8c2t2Txq/rG5Eq4ZoCi++Hj5poRboFLqb+ oom+0Ee0LfcAKXkxH5gWTPTblHo49GzGitPZtRzTgZ9uFnVwvEaJ4+t0ij0J8JpL HuVtWrg5/REhqpEvOSwF0sRmkYWLTu7KdueGn/iZ8xUi7GHEue01NsVkClohKJcR WOjWrbNCNF/LJaG88MX0z5u7IO7s9bOHphd7PJ92vR+4YsehW3uRhk+rNi2ZBqQz hzULfu8BiaicV9fdB/hDcMmKQD6U6due2AVVPtxTf5XY+CHQNRY= =phE1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'nfsd-5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: "We introduce 'courteous server' in this release.

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.
