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" * tag 'nfsd-4.20' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (30 commits) lockd: fix access beyond unterminated strings in prints nfsd: Fix an Oops in free_session() nfsd: correctly decrement odstate refcount in error path svcrdma: Increase the default connection credit limit svcrdma: Remove try_module_get from backchannel svcrdma: Remove ->release_rqst call in bc reply handler svcrdma: Reduce max_send_sges nfsd: fix fall-through annotations knfsd: Improve lookup performance in the duplicate reply cache using an rbtree knfsd: Further simplify the cache lookup knfsd: Simplify NFS duplicate replay cache knfsd: Remove dead code from nfsd_cache_lookup SUNRPC: Simplify TCP receive code SUNRPC: Replace the cache_detail->hash_lock with a regular spinlock SUNRPC: Remove non-RCU protected lookup NFS: Fix up a typo in nfs_dns_ent_put NFS: Lockless DNS lookups knfsd: Lockless lookup of NFSv4 identities.
