Merge tag 'nfsd-5.11' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/cel-2.6

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
 "Several substantial changes this time around:

   - Previously, exporting an NFS mount via NFSD was considered to be an
     unsupported feature. With v5.11, the community has attempted to
     make re-exporting a first-class feature of NFSD.

     This would enable the Linux in-kernel NFS server to be used as an
     intermediate cache for a remotely-located primary NFS server, for
     example, even with other NFS server implementations, like a NetApp
     filer, as the primary.

   - A short series of patches brings support for multiple RPC/RDMA data
     chunks per RPC transaction to the Linux NFS server's RPC/RDMA
     transport implementation.

     This is a part of the RPC/RDMA spec that the other premiere
     NFS/RDMA implementation (Solaris) has had for a very long time, and
     completes the implementation of RPC/RDMA version 1 in the Linux
     kernel's NFS server.

   - Long ago, NFSv4 support was introduced to NFSD using a series of C
     macros that hid dprintk's and goto's. Over time, the kernel's XDR
     implementation has been greatly improved, but these C macros have
     remained and become fallow. A series of patches in this pull
     request completely replaces those macros with the use of current
     kernel XDR infrastructure. Benefits include:

       - More robust input sanitization in NFSD's NFSv4 XDR decoders.

       - Make it easier to use common kernel library functions that use
         XDR stream APIs (for example, GSS-API).

       - Align the structure of the source code with the RFCs so it is
         easier to learn, verify, and maintain our XDR implementation.

       - Removal of more than a hundred hidden dprintk() call sites.

       - Removal of some explicit manipulation of pages to help make the
         eventual transition to xdr->bvec smoother.

   - On top of several related fixes in 5.10-rc, there are a few more
     fixes to get the Linux NFSD implementation of NFSv4.2 inter-server
     copy up to speed.

  And as usual, there is a pinch of seasoning in the form of a
  collection of unrelated minor bug fixes and clean-ups.

  Many thanks to all who contributed this time around!"
