Linus Torvalds e6b9257280 NFS client updates for Linux 4.21
Note that there is a conflict with the rdma tree in this pull request, since
 we delete a file that has been changed in the rdma tree.  Hopefully that's
 easy enough to resolve!
 
 We also were unable to track down a maintainer for Neil Brown's changes to
 the generic cred code that are prerequisites to his RPC cred cleanup patches.
 We've been asking around for several months without any response, so
 hopefully it's okay to include those patches in this pull request.
 
 Stable bugfixes:
 - xprtrdma: Yet another double DMA-unmap # v4.20
 
 Features:
 - Allow some /proc/sys/sunrpc entries without CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG
 - Per-xprt rdma receive workqueues
 - Drop support for FMR memory registration
 - Make port= mount option optional for RDMA mounts
 
 Other bugfixes and cleanups:
 - Remove unused nfs4_xdev_fs_type declaration
 - Fix comments for behavior that has changed
 - Remove generic RPC credentials by switching to 'struct cred'
 - Fix crossing mountpoints with different auth flavors
 - Various xprtrdma fixes from testing and auditing the close code
 - Fixes for disconnect issues when using xprtrdma with krb5
 - Clean up and improve xprtrdma trace points
 - Fix NFS v4.2 async copy reboot recovery

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 Restructured Text 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.
