This section answers a new FAQ entry: 9. How does LOCALIO make certain that object lifetimes are managed properly given NFSD and NFS operate in different contexts? See the detailed "NFS Client and Server Interlock" section below. The first half of the section details NeilBrown's elegant design for LOCALIO's nfs_uuid_t based interlock and is heavily based on Neil's "net namespace refcounting" description here: https://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=172498546024767&w=2 The second half of the section details the per-cpu-refcount introduced to ensure NFSD's nfsd_serv isn't destroyed while in use by a LOCALIO client.

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 reStructuredText 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.
