Most NFS server implementations allow up to 64KB reads and writes on the
wire. The Solaris NFS server allows up to a megabyte, for instance.
Now the Linux NFS client supports transfer sizes up to 1MB, too. This will
help reduce protocol and context switch overhead on read/write intensive NFS
workloads, and support larger atomic read and write operations on servers
that support them.
Test-plan:
Connectathon and iozone on mount point with wsize=rsize>32768 over TCP.
Tests with NFS over UDP to verify the maximum RPC payload size cap.

Replace ad hoc write parameter sanity checking in nfs_file_direct_write()
with a call to generic_write_checks(). This should make the proper checks
modulo the O_LARGEFILE flag, and should catch NFSv2-specific limitations by
virtue of i_sb->s_maxbytes.
Test plan:
Posix compliance testing with both NFSv2 and NFSv3.

The NFSv4 model requires us to complete all RPC calls that might
establish state on the server whether or not the user wants to
interrupt it. We may also need to schedule new work (including
new RPC calls) in order to cancel the new state.
The asynchronous RPC model will allow us to ensure that RPC calls
always complete, but in order to allow for "synchronous" RPC, we
want to add the ability to wait for completion.
The waits are, of course, interruptible.

Shrink the RPC task structure. Instead of storing separate pointers
for task->tk_exit and task->tk_release, put them in a structure.
Also pass the user data pointer as a parameter instead of passing it via
task->tk_calldata. This enables us to nest callbacks.

Ensure we call unmap_mapping_range() and sync dirty pages to disk before
doing an NFS direct write.

Fix some dprintk's so that NLM, NFS client, and RPC client compile
cleanly if CONFIG_SYSCTL is disabled.
Test plan:
Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled and CONFIG_SYSCTL disabled.

The following patch removes the f_error field and all checks of f_error.
Trond said:
f_error was introduced for NFS, and made sense when we were guaranteed
always to have a file pointer around when write errors occurred. Since
then, we have (for various reasons) had to introduce the nfs_open_context in
order to track the file read/write state, and it made sense to move our
f_error tracking there too.

Instead of looking at whether or not the file is open for writes before
we accept to update the length using the server value, we should rather
be looking at whether or not we are currently caching any writes.
Failure to do so means in particular that we're not updating the file
length correctly after obtaining a POSIX or BSD lock.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
