Trond Myklebust:

  • NFSv2/v3/v4: New attribute revalidation code that no longer
    relies on ctime for correctness in avoiding update races.
  • NFSv2/v3/v4: New file writeout strategy. Defer writes until a
    flush is requested by the application (or memory pressure).
  • Configuration: simplify configuration options. Automatically
    select RPCSEC_GSS if NFSv4 is selected. Remove need for user to
    select SUNRPC_GSS, and the crypto options.
  • NFSv2/v3: Ensure that we only use GETATTR+STATFS (NFSv2) and
    FSINFO (NFSv3) when mounting. This should allow us to use AUTH_SYS
    credentials when mounting, (even when the user requests RPCSEC_GSS
    authentication) due to the hack described in RFC2623.
  • NFSv2/v3/v4: Ensure that fsync() flushes all writebacks to disk
    rather than just the
  • NFSv2/v3/v4: A patch by Greg Banks that fixes the “VFS: Busy
    inodes after unmount.” problem.
  • RPC: Make XIDs unique on a per-transport basis rather than
    globally unique. Gets rid
  • RPC: Sync rpc_set_timeo() up to the 2.4.x version. In
    particular, this will ensure that the timeout shift is clamped to a
    maximum value of 8.
  • RPC: Ensure that we have the correct capabilities when binding
    a socket to a reserved port. Fixes a privilege bug when
    CONFIG_SECURITY is set.
  • RPC,NFSv2/v3/v4: Ensure that xprt_create_proto() and
    rpc_create_client() return full error codes. Should allow the
    “mount” program to print more useful error diagnostics.
  • NFSv2/v3/v4: Parenthesize #defines in nfs?xdr.c. Fix an
    off-by-one error on the value
  • NFSv2/v3 locking: Patch by Patrice Dumas to implement
    nlmsvc_proc_granted_res
  • NFSv2/v3 locking: Patch by Patrice Dumas that adds a check to
    ensure we really were requesting a blocking lock when we get a
    reply from the server asking us to block.
  • NFSv2/v3 locking: Patch by Patrice Dumas to ensure that the
    server index blocks uniquely by using the client address in
    addition to the value of the NLM cookie field.
  • NFSv2/v3 locking: A patch to ensure that blocks which are not
    going to time out are placed last on the ordered list nlm_block
    (problem reported by Olaf Kirch).
  • RPC,NFSv3: remove the redundant “memset()” in call_encode().
    Fix up the only places where this causes a padding error:
    xdr_encode_fhandle() and unx_marshal()
  • RPC: patch by Chuck Lever to make the number of RPC slots a
    tunable parameter
  • NFSv2: Fix up NFSv2 reads so that they report when the server
    returned a short read due to EOF.
  • NFSv4: Fix a list corruption in the NFSv4 state engine
  • NFS: From the suse kenrel RPM: handle ENOMEM from
    nfs_fhget()
  • From: <martin@meltin.net>
  • akpm@odsl.org: For complex
    reasons it is not possible to hold i_sem in nfs_update_inode()
