Merge tag 'nfsd-4.20' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux
Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
"Olga added support for the NFSv4.2 asynchronous copy protocol. We
already supported COPY, by copying a limited amount of data and then
returning a short result, letting the client resend. The asynchronous
protocol should offer better performance at the expense of some
complexity.
The other highlight is Trond's work to convert the duplicate reply
cache to a red-black tree, and to move it and some other server caches
to RCU. (Previously these have meant taking global spinlocks on every
RPC)
Otherwise, some RDMA work and miscellaneous bugfixes"
