Merge tag 'nfs-for-3.20-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs
Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust: "Highlights incluse: Features: - Removing the forced serialisation of open()/close() calls in NFSv4.x (x>0) makes for a significant performance improvement in metadata intensive workloads. - Full support for the pNFS "flexible files" layout type - Further RPC/RDMA client improvements from Chuck Bugfixes: - Stable fix: NFSv4.1 backchannel calls blocking operations with !TASK_RUNNING - Stable fix: pnfs_generic_pg_init_read/write can be called with lseg == NULL - Stable fix: Fix an Oopsable condition when nsm_mon_unmon is called as part of the namespace cleanup, - Stable fix: Ensure we reference the inode for return-on-close in delegreturn - Use SO_REUSEPORT to ensure that NFSv3 TCP connections can rebind to the same source address/port combination during a disconnect/ reconnect event. This is a requirement imposed by most NFSv3 server duplicate reply cache implementations. Optimisations: - Ask for no NFSv4.1 delegations on OPEN if using O_DIRECT Other: - Add Anna Schumaker as co-maintainer for the NFS client" * tag 'nfs-for-3.20-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs: (119 commits) SUNRPC: Cleanup to remove xs_tcp_close() pnfs: delete an unintended goto pnfs/flexfiles: Do not dprintk after the free SUNRPC: Fix stupid typo in xs_sock_set_reuseport SUNRPC: Define xs_tcp_fin_timeout only if CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG SUNRPC: Handle connection reset more efficiently. SUNRPC: Remove the redundant XPRT_CONNECTION_CLOSE flag SUNRPC: Make xs_tcp_close() do a socket shutdown rather than a sock_release SUNRPC: Ensure xs_tcp_shutdown() requests a full close of the connection SUNRPC: Cleanup to remove remaining uses of XPRT_CONNECTION_ABORT SUNRPC: Remove TCP socket linger code SUNRPC: Remove TCP client connection reset hack SUNRPC: TCP/UDP always close the old socket before reconnecting SUNRPC: Add helpers to prevent socket create from racing SUNRPC: Ensure xs_reset_transport() resets the close connection flags SUNRPC: Do not clear the source port in xs_reset_transport SUNRPC: Handle EADDRINUSE on connect SUNRPC: Set SO_REUSEPORT socket option for TCP connections NFSv4.1: Fix pnfs_put_lseg races NFSv4.1: pnfs_send_layoutreturn should use GFP_NOFS ...
