Merge tag 'nfs-for-3.13-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs
Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
"Highlights include:
- Changes to the RPC socket code to allow NFSv4 to turn off
timeout+retry:
* Detect TCP connection breakage through the "keepalive" mechanism
- Add client side support for NFSv4.x migration (Chuck Lever)
- Add support for multiple security flavour arguments to the "sec="
mount option (Dros Adamson)
- fs-cache bugfixes from David Howells:
* Fix an issue whereby caching can be enabled on a file that is
open for writing
- More NFSv4 open code stable bugfixes
- Various Labeled NFS (selinux) bugfixes, including one stable fix
- Fix buffer overflow checking in the RPCSEC_GSS upcall encoding"
