This release is mostly bug fixes, clean-ups, and optimizations.
One notable set of fixes addresses a subtle buffer overflow issue
that occurs if a small RPC Call message arrives in an oversized
RPC record. This is only possible on a framed RPC transport such
as TCP.
Because NFSD shares the receive and send buffers in one set of
pages, an oversized RPC record steals pages from the send buffer
that will be used to construct the RPC Reply message. NFSD must
not assume that a full-sized buffer is always available to it;
otherwise, it will walk off the end of the send buffer while
constructing its reply.
In this release, we also introduce the ability for the server to
wait a moment for clients to return delegations before it responds
with NFS4ERR_DELAY. This saves a retransmit and a network round-
trip when a delegation recall is needed. This work will be built
upon in future releases.
The NFS server adds another shrinker to its collection. Because
courtesy clients can linger for quite some time, they might be
freeable when the server host comes under memory pressure. A new
shrinker has been added that releases courtesy client resources
during low memory scenarios.
Lastly, of note: the maximum number of operations per NFSv4
COMPOUND that NFSD can handle is increased from 16 to 50. There
are NFSv4 client implementations that need more than 16 to
successfully perform a mount operation that uses a pathname
with many components.
