Linus Torvalds 73ccb023a2 NFS client updates for Linux 4.12
Highlights include:
 
 Stable bugfixes:
 - Fix use after free in write error path
 - Use GFP_NOIO for two allocations in writeback
 - Fix a hang in OPEN related to server reboot
 - Check the result of nfs4_pnfs_ds_connect
 - Fix an rcu lock leak
 
 Features:
 - Removal of the unmaintained and unused OSD pNFS layout
 - Cleanup and removal of lots of unnecessary dprintk()s
 - Cleanup and removal of some memory failure paths now that
   GFP_NOFS is guaranteed to never fail.
 - Remove the v3-only data server limitation on pNFS/flexfiles
 
 Bugfixes:
 - RPC/RDMA connection handling bugfixes
 - Copy offload: fixes to ensure the copied data is COMMITed to disk.
 - Readdir: switch back to using the ->iterate VFS interface
 - File locking fixes from Ben Coddington
 - Various use-after-free and deadlock issues in pNFS
 - Write path bugfixes

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
