Linus Torvalds c7a2c49ea6 NFS client updates for Linux 4.20
Highlights include:
 
 Stable fixes:
 - Fix the NFSv4.1 r/wsize sanity checking
 - Reset the RPC/RDMA credit grant properly after a disconnect
 - Fix a missed page unlock after pg_doio()
 
 Features and optimisations:
 - Overhaul of the RPC client socket code to eliminate a locking bottleneck
   and reduce the latency when transmitting lots of requests in parallel.
 - Allow parallelisation of the RPCSEC_GSS encoding of an RPC request.
 - Convert the RPC client socket receive code to use iovec_iter() for
   improved efficiency.
 - Convert several NFS and RPC lookup operations to use RCU instead of
   taking global locks.
 - Avoid the need for BH-safe locks in the RPC/RDMA back channel.
 
 Bugfixes and cleanups:
 - Fix lock recovery during NFSv4 delegation recalls
 - Fix the NFSv4 + NFSv4.1 "lookup revalidate + open file" case.
 - Fixes for the RPC connection metrics
 - Various RPC client layer cleanups to consolidate stream based sockets
 - RPC/RDMA connection cleanups
 - Simplify the RPC/RDMA cleanup after memory operation failures
 - Clean ups for NFS v4.2 copy completion and NFSv4 open state reclaim.

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.
