Highlights include:
Stable bugfixes:
- nfs: don't create zero-length requests
- Several LAYOUTGET bugfixes
Features:
- Several performance related features
- More aggressive caching when we can rely on close-to-open cache
consistency
- Remove serialisation of O_DIRECT reads and writes
- Optimise several code paths to not flush to disk unnecessarily. However
allow for the idiosyncracies of pNFS for those layout types that need
to issue a LAYOUTCOMMIT before the metadata can be updated on the server.
- SUNRPC updates to the client data receive path
- pNFS/SCSI support RH/Fedora dm-mpath device nodes
- pNFS files/flexfiles can now use unprivileged ports when the generic NFS
mount options allow it.
Bugfixes:
- Don't use RDMA direct data placement together with data integrity or
privacy security flavours
- Remove the RDMA ALLPHYSICAL memory registration mode as it has potential
security holes.
- Several layout recall fixes to improve NFSv4.1 protocol compliance.
- Fix an Oops in the pNFS files and flexfiles connection setup to the DS
- Allow retry of operations that used a returned delegation stateid
- Don't mark the inode as revalidated if a LAYOUTCOMMIT is outstanding
- Fix writeback races in nfs4_copy_range() and nfs42_proc_deallocate()
