Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: "Jeff Layton wired up netlink upcalls for the auth.unix.ip and auth.unix.gid caches in SunRPC and the svc_export and nfsd.fh caches in NFSD. The new kernel-user API is more extensible and lays the groundwork for retiring the old pipe interface. The default NFS r/w block size rises to 4MB on hosts with at least 16GB of RAM, reducing per-RPC overhead on fast networks. Smaller machines keep their previously computed default, and the value remains tunable through /proc/fs/nfsd/max_block_size. Chuck Lever converted the server's RPCSEC GSS Kerberos code to the kernel's shared crypto/krb5 library. The conversion retires and removes SunRPC's bespoke implementation of Kerberos v5, but keeps RPCSEC GSS-API. Continuing the xdrgen migration that converted the NLMv4 server XDR layer in v7.1, Chuck Lever converted the NLM version 3 server-side XDR layer from hand-written C to xdrgen-generated code. As with the NLMv4 conversion in v7.1, the goals are improved memory safety, lower maintenance burden, and groundwork for generation of Rust code for this layer instead of C. Chuck Lever fixed an issue where lingering NFSv4 state pins a mounted file system after it is unexported. A new netlink-based mechanism can now release NLM locks and NFSv4 state by client address, by filesystem, and by export. Now an administrator can quiesce an export cleanly before unmounting it. The remaining patches are bug fixes, clean-ups, and minor optimizations, including a batch of memory-leak and use-after-free fixes in the ACL, lockd, and TLS handshake paths, many of them reported by Chris Mason. Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who participated in the v7.2 NFSD development cycle" * tag 'nfsd-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux: (106 commits) svcrdma: wake sq waiters when the transport closes nfsd: reset write verifier on deferred writeback errors nfsd: avoid leaking pre-allocated openowner on unconfirmed retry race sunrpc: wait for in-flight TLS handshake callback when cancel loses race sunrpc: pin svc_xprt across the asynchronous TLS handshake callback nfsd: fix posix_acl leak on SETACL decode failure nfsd: fix posix_acl leak and ignored error in nfsd4_create_file nfsd: check get_user() return when reading princhashlen nfsd: fix inverted cp_ttl check in async copy reaper nfsd: fix dead ACL conflict guard in nfsd4_create NFSD: Fix SECINFO_NO_NAME decode error cleanup sunrpc: harden rq_procinfo lifecycle to prevent double-free SUNRPC: Return an error from xdr_buf_to_bvec() on overflow SUNRPC: Bound-check xdr_buf_to_bvec() stores before writing nfsd: release layout stid on setlease failure lockd: Avoid hashing uninitialized bytes in nlm4svc_lookup_file() lockd: Plug nlm_file refcount leak on cached nlm_do_fopen() failure lockd: Plug nlm_file leak when nlm_do_fopen() fails Revert "NFSD: Defer sub-object cleanup in export put callbacks" Revert "svcrdma: Use contiguous pages for RDMA Read sink buffers" ...
