Linux kernel source tree
f35d170615
I'm thrilled to announce that the Linux in-kernel NFS server now offers NFSv4 write delegations. A write delegation enables a client to cache data and metadata for a single file more aggressively, reducing network round trips and server workload. Many thanks to Dai Ngo for contributing this facility, and to Jeff Layton and Neil Brown for reviewing and testing it. This release also sees the removal of all support for DES- and triple-DES-based Kerberos encryption types in the kernel's SunRPC implementation. These encryption types have been deprecated by the Internet community for years and are considered insecure. This change affects both the in-kernel NFS client and server. The server's UDP and TCP socket transports have now fully adopted David Howells' new bio_vec iterator so that no more than one sendmsg() call is needed to transmit each RPC message. In particular, this helps kTLS optimize record boundaries when sending RPC-with-TLS replies, and it takes the server a baby step closer to handling file I/O via folios. We've begun work on overhauling the SunRPC thread scheduler to remove a costly linked-list walk when looking for an idle RPC service thread to wake. The pre-requisites are included in this release. Thanks to Neil Brown for his ongoing work on this improvement. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEKLLlsBKG3yQ88j7+M2qzM29mf5cFAmTwoa0ACgkQM2qzM29m f5cZvw/8CmFVNC27aMrJEhRRhwwrXbLzUkWh9GCYkG98PHYiLxLTvZ6qELXAax/a UjSgIDSRcWl4z8M/tyBQtgsw7NADr+7XWqEoXR7HZ5pEEC/KNGM0oQWQ92ojjKYy JmHdB02uaDJfcd9ioFTU13cw7q2BQfoe2xLI8yqis2vcVSu92AM7aIw+cvJIpwQB inA3TIIsYTV/gPByXSfEtvmYACadoFiMvfvYwaWhjFS9MdSzFmcVG0Dp3EFIig29 odmWEofcz6uIvUWvUswWEGdoSu7uOKIztSuAI4PlTwaofUaSKG6e5kmtpr3cLERD Uhg2lm5JgqkXBd7QHObNimJ4DtQzFwHmhA08qo8rd/zba75mn/Hr5IF0q3Rxs99J SRYHcAeP8afKn5Ge0yzoTgCNcqhfz8KLRfoCQX49mljr+muNxld4nMklD2KdUwJi XEB512/q3E4nUgopXZiSJYQYAq1CfdR5WpGipZ9X0XK9HZBDF/qhXGtk1YQuNWyj ZxJS3bfBza4oVIvP5/ehjCIQwOvqkcrC5zZGDIgDvw9Q6L3L1wqmVntsdCLCLRcJ jB4IOsj+DECfJ6w2vP2SZ3GeMtFnyuTQjhUTkjPuAKTBBiKo4Tj0o/agpfDYbWZy 1l3a2yH5jqJgkm4MaVh3YHRJGc0ub0ccpIrs3QQ4jvjMLQ/3Gcs= =XGHs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'nfsd-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: "I'm thrilled to announce that the Linux in-kernel NFS server now offers NFSv4 write delegations.

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.
