nfsd_file_acquire_local() can be used to look up a file by filehandle without having a struct svc_rqst. This can be used by NFS LOCALIO to allow the NFS client to bypass the NFS protocol to directly access a file provided by the NFS server which is running in the same kernel. In nfsd_file_do_acquire() care is taken to always use fh_verify() if rqstp is not NULL (as is the case for non-LOCALIO callers). Otherwise the non-LOCALIO callers will not supply the correct and required arguments to __fh_verify (e.g. gssclient isn't passed). Introduce fh_verify_local() wrapper around __fh_verify to make it clear that LOCALIO is intended caller. Also, use GC for nfsd_file returned by nfsd_file_acquire_local. GC offers performance improvements if/when a file is reopened before launderette cleans it from the filecache's LRU.

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.
