Merge branch 'for-3.8' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux
Pull nfsd update from Bruce Fields:
"Included this time:
- more nfsd containerization work from Stanislav Kinsbursky: we're
not quite there yet, but should be by 3.9.
- NFSv4.1 progress: implementation of basic backchannel security
negotiation and the mandatory BACKCHANNEL_CTL operation. See
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues
for remaining TODO's
- Fixes for some bugs that could be triggered by unusual compounds.
Our xdr code wasn't designed with v4 compounds in mind, and it
shows. A more thorough rewrite is still a todo.
- If you've ever seen "RPC: multiple fragments per record not
supported" logged while using some sort of odd userland NFS client,
that should now be fixed.
- Further work from Jeff Layton on our mechanism for storing
information about NFSv4 clients across reboots.
- Further work from Bryan Schumaker on his fault-injection mechanism
(which allows us to discard selective NFSv4 state, to excercise
rarely-taken recovery code paths in the client.)
- The usual mix of miscellaneous bugs and cleanup.
Thanks to everyone who tested or contributed this cycle."
