Linus Torvalds 0725d4e1b8 NFS client updates for Linux 4.18
Highlights include:
 
 Stable fixes:
 - Fix a 1-byte stack overflow in nfs_idmap_read_and_verify_message
 - Fix a hang due to incorrect error returns in rpcrdma_convert_iovs()
 - Revert an incorrect change to the NFSv4.1 callback channel
 - Fix a bug in the NFSv4.1 sequence error handling
 
 Features and optimisations:
 - Support for piggybacking a LAYOUTGET operation to the OPEN compound
 - RDMA performance enhancements to deal with transport congestion
 - Add proper SPDX tags for NetApp-contributed RDMA source
 - Do not request delegated file attributes (size+change) from the server
 - Optimise away a GETATTR in the lookup revalidate code when doing NFSv4 OPEN
 - Optimise away unnecessary lookups for rename targets
 - Misc performance improvements when freeing NFSv4 delegations
 
 Bugfixes and cleanups:
 - Try to fail quickly if proto=rdma
 - Clean up RDMA receive trace points
 - Fix sillyrename to return the delegation when appropriate
 - Misc attribute revalidation fixes
 - Immediately clear the pNFS layout on a file when the server returns ESTALE
 - Return NFS4ERR_DELAY when delegation/layout recalls fail due to igrab()
 - Fix the client behaviour on NFS4ERR_SEQ_FALSE_RETRY

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
