Merge tag 'nfsd-5.7-rc-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/cel-2.6

Pull nfsd fixes from Chuck Lever:
 "The first set of 5.7-rc fixes for NFS server issues.

  These were all unresolved at the time the 5.7 window opened, and
  needed some additional time to ensure they were correctly addressed.
  They are ready now.

  At the moment I know of one more urgent issue regarding the NFS
  server. A fix has been tested and is under review. I expect to send
  one more pull request, containing this fix (which now consists of 3
  patches).

  Fixes:

   - Address several use-after-free and memory leak bugs

   - Prevent a backchannel livelock"

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.

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.
