Highlights include:
Features:
- Switch NFS to use readahead instead of the obsolete readpages.
- Readdir fixes to improve cacheability of large directories when there
are multiple readers and writers.
- Readdir performance improvements when doing a seekdir() immediately
after opening the directory (common when re-exporting NFS).
- NFS swap improvements from Neil Brown.
- Loosen up memory allocation to permit direct reclaim and write back
in cases where there is no danger of deadlocking the writeback code or
NFS swap.
- Avoid sillyrename when the NFSv4 server claims to support the
necessary features to recover the unlinked but open file after reboot.
Bugfixes:
- Patch from Olga to add a mount option to control NFSv4.1 session
trunking discovery, and default it to being off.
- Fix a lockup in nfs_do_recoalesce().
- Two fixes for list iterator variables being used when pointing to the
list head.
- Fix a kernel memory scribble when reading from a non-socket transport
in /sys/kernel/sunrpc.
- Fix a race where reconnecting to a server could leave the TCP socket
stuck forever in the connecting state.
- Patch from Neil to fix a shutdown race which can leave the SUNRPC
transport timer primed after we free the struct xprt itself.
- Patch from Xin Xiong to fix reference count leaks in the NFSv4.2 copy
offload.
- Sunrpc patch from Olga to avoid resending a task on an offlined
transport.
Cleanups:
- Patches from Dave Wysochanski to clean up the fscache code
