Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
"Highlights:
- Add a new knfsd file cache, so that we don't have to open and close
on each (NFSv2/v3) READ or WRITE. This can speed up read and write
in some cases. It also replaces our readahead cache.
- Prevent silent data loss on write errors, by treating write errors
like server reboots for the purposes of write caching, thus forcing
clients to resend their writes.
- Tweak the code that allocates sessions to be more forgiving, so
that NFSv4.1 mounts are less likely to hang when a server already
has a lot of clients.
- Eliminate an arbitrary limit on NFSv4 ACL sizes; they should now be
limited only by the backend filesystem and the maximum RPC size.
- Allow the server to enforce use of the correct kerberos credentials
when a client reclaims state after a reboot.
And some miscellaneous smaller bugfixes and cleanup"

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.
