Linus Torvalds 6860c981b9 NFS client updates for Linux 5.3
Highlights include:
 
 Stable fixes:
 - SUNRPC: Ensure bvecs are re-synced when we re-encode the RPC request
 - Fix an Oops in ff_layout_track_ds_error due to a PTR_ERR() dereference
 - Revert buggy NFS readdirplus optimisation
 - NFSv4: Handle the special Linux file open access mode
 - pnfs: Fix a problem where we gratuitously start doing I/O through the MDS
 
 Features:
 - Allow NFS client to set up multiple TCP connections to the server using
    a new 'nconnect=X' mount option. Queue length is used to balance load.
 - Enhance statistics reporting to report on all transports when using
    multiple connections.
 - Speed up SUNRPC by removing bh-safe spinlocks
 - Add a mechanism to allow NFSv4 to request that containers set a
    unique per-host identifier for when the hostname is not set.
 - Ensure NFSv4 updates the lease_time after a clientid update
 
 Bugfixes and cleanup:
 - Fix use-after-free in rpcrdma_post_recvs
 - Fix a memory leak when nfs_match_client() is interrupted
 - Fix buggy file access checking in NFSv4 open for execute
 - disable unsupported client side deduplication
 - Fix spurious client disconnections
 - Fix occasional RDMA transport deadlock
 - Various RDMA cleanups
 - Various tracepoint fixes
 - Fix the TCP callback channel to guarantee the server can actually send
    the number of callback requests that was negotiated at mount time.

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.
