The NFS client's list of delegations can grow quite large (well beyond the delegation watermark) if the server is revoking or there are repeated events that expire state. Once this happens, the revoked delegations can cause a performance problem for subsequent walks of the servers->delegations list when the client tries to test and free state. If we can determine that the FREE_STATEID operation has completed without error, we can prune the delegation from the list. Since the NFS client combines TEST_STATEID with FREE_STATEID in its minor version operations, there isn't an easy way to communicate success of FREE_STATEID. Rather than re-arrange quite a number of calling paths to break out the separate procedures, let's signal the success of FREE_STATEID by setting the stateid's type. Set NFS4_FREED_STATEID_TYPE for stateids that have been successfully discarded from the server, and use that type to signal that the delegation can be cleaned up.

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.
