Trond Myklebust eea413308f NFS: Default change_attr_type to NFS4_CHANGE_TYPE_IS_UNDEFINED
Both NFSv3 and NFSv2 generate their change attribute from the ctime
value that was supplied by the server. However the problem is that there
are plenty of servers out there with ctime resolutions of 1ms or worse.
In a modern performance system, this is insufficient when trying to
decide which is the most recent set of attributes when, for instance, a
READ or GETATTR call races with a WRITE or SETATTR.

For this reason, let's revert to labelling the NFSv2/v3 change
attributes as NFS4_CHANGE_TYPE_IS_UNDEFINED. This will ensure we protect
against such races.

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.
