Linus Torvalds 1fbf3e4812 NFS client updates for Linux 5.1
Highlights include:
 
 Stable fixes:
 - Fixes for NFS I/O request leakages
 - Fix error handling paths in the NFS I/O recoalescing code
 - Reinitialise NFSv4.1 sequence results before retransmitting a request
 - Fix a soft lockup in the delegation recovery code
 - Bulk destroy of layouts needs to be safe w.r.t. umount
 - Prevent thundering herd issues when the SUNRPC socket is not connected
 - Respect RPC call timeouts when retrying transmission
 
 Features:
 - Convert rpc auth layer to use xdr_streams
 - Config option to disable insecure RPCSEC_GSS crypto types
 - Reduce size of RPC receive buffers
 - Readdirplus optimization by cache mechanism
 - Convert SUNRPC socket send code to use iov_iter()
 - SUNRPC micro-optimisations to avoid indirect calls
 - Add support for the pNFS LAYOUTERROR operation and use it with the
   pNFS/flexfiles driver
 - Add trace events to report non-zero NFS status codes
 - Various removals of unnecessary dprintks
 
 Bugfixes and cleanups:
 - Fix a number of sparse warnings and documentation format warnings
 - Fix nfs_parse_devname to not modify it's argument
 - Fix potential corruption of page being written through pNFS/blocks
 - fix xfstest generic/099 failures on nfsv3
 - Avoid NFSv4.1 "false retries" when RPC calls are interrupted
 - Abort I/O early if the pNFS/flexfiles layout segment was invalidated
 - Avoid unnecessary pNFS/flexfiles layout invalidations

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.
