Merge tag 'nfsd-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux
Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
"I'm thrilled to announce that the Linux in-kernel NFS server now
offers NFSv4 write delegations. A write delegation enables a client to
cache data and metadata for a single file more aggressively, reducing
network round trips and server workload. Many thanks to Dai Ngo for
contributing this facility, and to Jeff Layton and Neil Brown for
reviewing and testing it.
This release also sees the removal of all support for DES- and
triple-DES-based Kerberos encryption types in the kernel's SunRPC
implementation. These encryption types have been deprecated by the
Internet community for years and are considered insecure. This change
affects both the in-kernel NFS client and server.
The server's UDP and TCP socket transports have now fully adopted
David Howells' new bio_vec iterator so that no more than one sendmsg()
call is needed to transmit each RPC message. In particular, this helps
kTLS optimize record boundaries when sending RPC-with-TLS replies, and
it takes the server a baby step closer to handling file I/O via
folios.
We've begun work on overhauling the SunRPC thread scheduler to remove
a costly linked-list walk when looking for an idle RPC service thread
to wake. The pre-requisites are included in this release. Thanks to
Neil Brown for his ongoing work on this improvement"
