This release completes the SunRPC thread scheduler work that was
begun in v6.6. The scheduler can now find an svc thread to wake in
constant time and without a list walk. Thanks again to Neil Brown
for this overhaul.
Lorenzo Bianconi contributed infrastructure for a netlink-based
NFSD control plane. The long-term plan is to provide the same
functionality as found in /proc/fs/nfsd, plus some interesting
additions, and then migrate the NFSD user space utilities to
netlink.
A long series to overhaul NFSD's NFSv4 operation encoding was
applied in this release. The goals are to bring this family of
encoding functions in line with the matching NFSv4 decoding
functions and with the NFSv2 and NFSv3 XDR functions, preparing
the way for better memory safety and maintainability.
A further improvement to NFSD's write delegation support was
contributed by Dai Ngo. This adds a CB_GETATTR callback,
enabling the server to retrieve cached size and mtime data from
clients holding write delegations. If the server can retrieve
this information, it does not have to recall the delegation in
some cases.
The usual panoply of bug fixes and minor improvements round out
this release. As always I am grateful to all contributors,
reviewers, and testers.
