Linus Torvalds ebc551f2b8 Miscellaneous NFS server fixes. Probably the most visible bug is one
that could artificially limit NFSv4.1 performance by limiting the number
 of oustanding rpcs from a single client.  Neil Brown also gets a special
 mention for fixing a 14.5-year-old memory-corruption bug in the encoding
 of NFSv3 readdir responses.

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.
