Linus Torvalds 47439bb163 NFSD 7.4 Release Notes
Jeff Layton extended the netlink listener-set operation so that a
 management daemon can register NFSD's programs with rpcbind itself.
 This prevents an unresponsive rpcbind from stalling NFSD adminis-
 tration for a minute at a time.
 
 Bulk delegation recall now adjusts the number of delegations it
 wants returned, based on memory pressure. The previous mechanism
 was spec-conformant, but it requested all delegations to be
 returned at once. Clients are free to return few or none in such
 cases, but requesting smaller batches of delegations is more
 neighborly.
 
 In preparation for handling TLS KeyUpdate, the server's TCP receive
 path has been reworked to handle control records. In the process,
 the use of sock_recvmsg was replaced with ->read_sock, which contends
 less with other holders of the socket lock.
 
 NFSv2 XDR code is now generated by xdrgen, which mechanically
 generates the encoders and decoders from the RPC language
 specification for the protocol. Replacing hand-built XDR code
 makes prototyping new protocol elements faster, reduces errors, and
 improves memory safety. Replacement of XDR code for newer NFS
 versions will continue in subsequent releases of NFSD.
 
 The remaining bulk of changes in v7.4 is bug fixes, clean-ups, and
 small optimizations. Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers,
 testers, and bug reporters who participated in the v7.4 NFSD
 development cycle.
