Linus Torvalds 2ec20f4895 NFS client updates for Linux 5.16
Highlights include:
 
 Features:
 - NFSv4.1 can always retrieve and cache the ACCESS mode on OPEN
 - Optimisations for READDIR and the 'ls -l' style workload
 - Further replacements of dprintk() with tracepoints and other tracing
   improvements
 - Ensure we re-probe NFSv4 server capabilities when the user does a
   "mount -o remount"
 
 Bugfixes:
 - Fix an Oops in pnfs_mark_request_commit()
 - Fix up deadlocks in the commit code
 - Fix regressions in NFSv2/v3 attribute revalidation due to the
   change_attr_type optimisations
 - Fix some dentry verifier races
 - Fix some missing dentry verifier settings
 - Fix a performance regression in nfs_set_open_stateid_locked()
 - SUNRPC was sending multiple SYN calls when re-establishing a TCP
   connection.
 - Fix multiple NFSv4 issues due to missing sanity checking of server
   return values
 - Fix a potential Oops when FREE_STATEID races with an unmount
 
 Cleanups:
 - Clean up the labelled NFS code
 - Remove unused header <linux/pnfs_osd_xdr.h>

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.
