NeilBrown abcb4dacb0 NFSD: further refinement of content of /proc/fs/nfsd/versions 
Prior to
  e35659f1b0 ("NFSD: correctly range-check v4.x minor version when setting versions.")

v4.0 could not be disabled without disabling all NFSv4 protocols.
So the 'versions' file contained ±4 ±4.1 ±4.2.
Writing "-4" would disable all v4 completely.  Writing +4 would enabled those
minor versions that are currently enabled, either by default or otherwise.

After that commit, it was possible to disable v4.0 independently.  To
maximize backward compatibility with use cases which never disabled
v4.0, the "versions" file would never contain "+4.0" - that was implied
by "+4", unless explicitly negated by "-4.0".

This introduced an inconsistency in that it was possible to disable all
minor versions, but still have the major version advertised.
e.g. "-4.0 -4.1 -4.2 +4" would result in NFSv4 support being advertised,
but all attempts to use it rejected.

Commit
  d3635ff07e ("nfsd: fix configuration of supported minor versions")

and following removed this inconsistency. If all minor version were disabled,
the major would be disabled too.  If any minor was enabled, the major would be
disabled.
This patch also treated "+4" as equivalent to "+4.0" and "-4" as "-4.0".
A consequence of this is that writing "-4" would only disable 4.0.
This is a regression against the earlier behaviour, in a use case that rpc.nfsd
actually uses.
The command "rpc.nfsd -N 4" will write "+2 +3 -4" to the versions files.
Previously, that would disable v4 completely.  Now it will only disable v4.0.

Also "4.0" never appears in the "versions" file when read.
So if only v4.1 is available, the previous kernel would have reported
"+4 -4.0 +4.1 -4.2"  the current kernel reports "-4 +4.1 -4.2" which
could easily confuse.

This patch restores the implication that "+4" and "-4" apply more
globals and do not imply "4.0".
Specifically:
 writing "-4" will disable all 4.x minor versions.
 writing "+4" will enable all 4.1 minor version if none are currently enabled.
    rpc.nfsd will list minor versions before major versions, so
      rpc.nfsd -V 4.2 -N 4.1
    will write "-4.1 +4.2 +2 +3 +4"
    so it would be a regression for "+4" to enable always all versions.
 reading "-4" implies that no v4.x are enabled
 reading "+4" implies that some v4.x are enabled, and that v4.0 is enabled unless
 "-4.0" is also present.  All other minor versions will explicitly be listed.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
