Linus Torvalds ccc1ead23c NFS client updates for Linux 6.17
Highlights include:
 
 Stable fixes:
 - NFS don't inherit NFS filesystem capabilities when crossing from one
   filesystem to another.
 
 Bugfixes:
 - NFS wakeup of __nfs_lookup_revalidate() needs memory barriers.
 - NFS improve bounds checking in nfs_fh_to_dentry().
 - NFS Fix allocation errors when writing to a NFS file backed loopback
   device.
 - NFSv4: More listxattr fixes
 - SUNRPC: fix client handling of TLS alerts.
 - pNFS block/scsi layout fix for an uninitialised pointer dereference.
 - pNFS block/scsi layout fixes for the extent encoding, stripe mapping,
   and disk offset overflows.
 - pNFS layoutcommit work around for RPC size limitations.
 - pNFS/flexfiles avoid looping when handling fatal errors after layoutget.
 - localio: fix various race conditions.
 
 Features and cleanups:
 - Add NFSv4 support for retrieving the btime.
 - NFS: Allow folio migration for the case of mode == MIGRATE_SYNC.
 - NFS: Support using a kernel keyring to store TLS certificates.
 - NFSv4: Speed up delegation lookup using a hash table.
 - Assorted cleanups to remove unused variables and struct fields.
 - Assorted new tracepoints to improve debugging.

README

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.
