Linus Torvalds 06cbd26d31 NFS client updates for Linux 5.2
Stable bugfixes:
 - Fall back to MDS if no deviceid is found rather than aborting   # v4.11+
 - NFS4: Fix v4.0 client state corruption when mount
 
 Features:
 - Much improved handling of soft mounts with NFS v4.0
   - Reduce risk of false positive timeouts
   - Faster failover of reads and writes after a timeout
   - Added a "softerr" mount option to return ETIMEDOUT instead of
     EIO to the application after a timeout
 - Increase number of xprtrdma backchannel requests
 - Add additional xprtrdma tracepoints
 - Improved send completion batching for xprtrdma
 
 Other bugfixes and cleanups:
 - Return -EINVAL when NFS v4.2 is passed an invalid dedup mode
 - Reduce usage of GFP_ATOMIC pages in SUNRPC
 - Various minor NFS over RDMA cleanups and bugfixes
 - Use the correct container namespace for upcalls
 - Don't share superblocks between user namespaces
 - Various other container fixes
 - Make nfs_match_client() killable to prevent soft lockups
 - Don't mark all open state for recovery when handling recallable state revoked flag

README

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.
