Merge tag 'nfsd-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux
Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: "I'm thrilled to announce that the Linux in-kernel NFS server now offers NFSv4 write delegations. A write delegation enables a client to cache data and metadata for a single file more aggressively, reducing network round trips and server workload. Many thanks to Dai Ngo for contributing this facility, and to Jeff Layton and Neil Brown for reviewing and testing it. This release also sees the removal of all support for DES- and triple-DES-based Kerberos encryption types in the kernel's SunRPC implementation. These encryption types have been deprecated by the Internet community for years and are considered insecure. This change affects both the in-kernel NFS client and server. The server's UDP and TCP socket transports have now fully adopted David Howells' new bio_vec iterator so that no more than one sendmsg() call is needed to transmit each RPC message. In particular, this helps kTLS optimize record boundaries when sending RPC-with-TLS replies, and it takes the server a baby step closer to handling file I/O via folios. We've begun work on overhauling the SunRPC thread scheduler to remove a costly linked-list walk when looking for an idle RPC service thread to wake. The pre-requisites are included in this release. Thanks to Neil Brown for his ongoing work on this improvement" * tag 'nfsd-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux: (56 commits) Documentation: Add missing documentation for EXPORT_OP flags SUNRPC: Remove unused declaration rpc_modcount() SUNRPC: Remove unused declarations NFSD: da_addr_body field missing in some GETDEVICEINFO replies SUNRPC: Remove return value of svc_pool_wake_idle_thread() SUNRPC: make rqst_should_sleep() idempotent() SUNRPC: Clean up svc_set_num_threads SUNRPC: Count ingress RPC messages per svc_pool SUNRPC: Deduplicate thread wake-up code SUNRPC: Move trace_svc_xprt_enqueue SUNRPC: Add enum svc_auth_status SUNRPC: change svc_xprt::xpt_flags bits to enum SUNRPC: change svc_rqst::rq_flags bits to enum SUNRPC: change svc_pool::sp_flags bits to enum SUNRPC: change cache_head.flags bits to enum SUNRPC: remove timeout arg from svc_recv() SUNRPC: change svc_recv() to return void.
