Linus Torvalds a647034fe2 NFS client updates for Linux 5.13
Highlights include:
 
 Stable fixes:
 - Add validation of the UDP retrans parameter to prevent shift out-of-bounds
 - Don't discard pNFS layout segments that are marked for return
 
 Bugfixes:
 - Fix a NULL dereference crash in xprt_complete_bc_request() when the
   NFSv4.1 server misbehaves.
 - Fix the handling of NFS READDIR cookie verifiers
 - Sundry fixes to ensure attribute revalidation works correctly when the
   server does not return post-op attributes.
 - nfs4_bitmask_adjust() must not change the server global bitmasks
 - Fix major timeout handling in the RPC code.
 - NFSv4.2 fallocate() fixes.
 - Fix the NFSv4.2 SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA end-of-file handling
 - Copy offload attribute revalidation fixes
 - Fix an incorrect filehandle size check in the pNFS flexfiles driver
 - Fix several RDMA transport setup/teardown races
 - Fix several RDMA queue wrapping issues
 - Fix a misplaced memory read barrier in sunrpc's call_decode()
 
 Features:
 - Micro optimisation of the TCP transmission queue using TCP_CORK
 - statx() performance improvements by further splitting up the tracking
   of invalid cached file metadata.
 - Support the NFSv4.2 "change_attr_type" attribute and use it to
   optimise handling of change attribute updates.

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.
