-NFSv4.1 Server Implementation
-
-Server support for minorversion 1 can be controlled using the
-/proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. The string output returned
-by reading this file will contain either "+4.1" or "-4.1"
-correspondingly.
-
-Currently, server support for minorversion 1 is enabled by default.
-It can be disabled at run time by writing the string "-4.1" to
-the /proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. Note that to write this
-control file, the nfsd service must be taken down. You can use rpc.nfsd
-for this; see rpc.nfsd(8).
-
-(Warning: older servers will interpret "+4.1" and "-4.1" as "+4" and
-"-4", respectively. Therefore, code meant to work on both new and old
-kernels must turn 4.1 on or off *before* turning support for version 4
-on or off; rpc.nfsd does this correctly.)
-
-The NFSv4 minorversion 1 (NFSv4.1) implementation in nfsd is based
-on RFC 5661.
-
-From the many new features in NFSv4.1 the current implementation
-focuses on the mandatory-to-implement NFSv4.1 Sessions, providing
-"exactly once" semantics and better control and throttling of the
-resources allocated for each client.
-
-The table below, taken from the NFSv4.1 document, lists
-the operations that are mandatory to implement (REQ), optional
-(OPT), and NFSv4.0 operations that are required not to implement (MNI)
-in minor version 1. The first column indicates the operations that
-are not supported yet by the linux server implementation.
-
-The OPTIONAL features identified and their abbreviations are as follows:
- pNFS Parallel NFS
- FDELG File Delegations
- DDELG Directory Delegations
-
-The following abbreviations indicate the linux server implementation status.
- I Implemented NFSv4.1 operations.
- NS Not Supported.
- NS* Unimplemented optional feature.

-Implementation notes:
-
-SSV:
-* The spec claims this is mandatory, but we don't actually know of any
- implementations, so we're ignoring it for now. The server returns
- NFS4ERR_ENCR_ALG_UNSUPP on EXCHANGE_ID, which should be future-proof.
-
-GSS on the backchannel:
-* Again, theoretically required but not widely implemented (in
- particular, the current Linux client doesn't request it). We return
- NFS4ERR_ENCR_ALG_UNSUPP on CREATE_SESSION.
-
-DELEGPURGE:
-* mandatory only for servers that support CLAIM_DELEGATE_PREV and/or
- CLAIM_DELEG_PREV_FH (which allows clients to keep delegations that
- persist across client reboots). Thus we need not implement this for
- now.
-
-EXCHANGE_ID:
-* implementation ids are ignored
-
-CREATE_SESSION:
-* backchannel attributes are ignored
-
-SEQUENCE:
-* no support for dynamic slot table renegotiation (optional)
-
-Nonstandard compound limitations:
-* No support for a sessions fore channel RPC compound that requires both a
- ca_maxrequestsize request and a ca_maxresponsesize reply, so we may
- fail to live up to the promise we made in CREATE_SESSION fore channel
- negotiation.
