This came up during one of the Bake-a-thon discussions. NFS v2 support
was dropped from nfs-utils/mount.nfs in December 2021. Let's turn it
off by default in the kernel too, since this means there isn't a way
to mount and test it.

The flexfiles layout driver depends on NFSv3 module as data servers
might be configure to provide nfsv3 only.
Disabling the nfsv3 protocol completely disables the flexfiles layout driver,
however, the data server still might support v4.1 protocol. Thus the strond
couling betwwen flexfiles and nfsv3 modules should be relaxed, as layout driver
will return UNSUPPORTED if not matching protocol is found.

As first steps for support of the netfs library when NFS_FSCACHE is
configured, add NETFS_SUPPORT to Kconfig and add the required netfs_inode
into struct nfs_inode.
Using netfs requires we move the VFS inode structure to be stored
inside struct netfs_inode, along with the fscache_cookie.
Thus, if NFS_FSCACHE is configured, place netfs_inode inside an
anonymous union so the vfs_inode memory is the same and we do
not need to modify other non-fscache areas of NFS.
In addition, inside the NFS fscache code, use the new helpers,
netfs_inode() and netfs_i_cookie() helpers, and remove our own
helper, nfs_i_fscache().
Later patches will convert NFS fscache to fully use netfs.

This behavior is triggered by the "default y" in the definition of
RPCSEC_GSS.
The "default y" was added in 2010 by commit df486a2590 ("NFS: Fix
the selection of security flavours in Kconfig"). However,
svc_gss_principal was removed in 2012 by commit 03a4e1f6dd
("nfsd4: move principal name into svc_cred"), so the 2010 fix is
no longer necessary. We can safely change the NFS_V4 and NFSD_V4
dependencies back to RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 to get the nicer v6.2
behavior back.
Selecting KRB5 symbolically represents the true requirement here:
that all spec-compliant NFSv4 implementations must have Kerberos
available to use.

Instead of using a linear index to address the pages, use the cookie of
the first entry, since that is what we use to match the page anyway.
This allows us to avoid re-reading the entire cache on a seekdir() type
of operation. The latter is very common when re-exporting NFS, and is a
major performance drain.
The change does affect our duplicate cookie detection, since we can no
longer rely on the page index as a linear offset for detecting whether
we looped backwards. However since we no longer do a linear search
through all the pages on each call to nfs_readdir(), this is less of a
concern than it was previously.
The other downside is that invalidate_mapping_pages() no longer can use
the page index to avoid clearing pages that have been read. A subsequent
patch will restore the functionality this provides to the 'ls -l'
heuristic.

Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit
architectures. These types are required to support block device and/or

There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their
functionality in init, running as root:root. For these systems,
supporting multiple users is not necessary.
This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for
non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional. It is enabled
under CONFIG_EXPERT menu.
When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.
The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups,
getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.
Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.
In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid
adding two ifdef blocks.
This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build. The most minimal
kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than
low MB. (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much.
The kernel was booted in Qemu. All the common functionalities work.
Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a
few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even
there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do
about them, this patch illustrates one of the options:
Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig,
and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets
disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL
code itself is compiled out.
The one exception is file locking, which is practically always
enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces
CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd
mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c.
