Merge tag 'nfsd-4.9' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux
Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields: "Some RDMA work and some good bugfixes, and two new features that could benefit from user testing: - Anna Schumacker contributed a simple NFSv4.2 COPY implementation. COPY is already supported on the client side, so a call to copy_file_range() on a recent client should now result in a server-side copy that doesn't require all the data to make a round trip to the client and back. - Jeff Layton implemented callbacks to notify clients when contended locks become available, which should reduce latency on workloads with contended locks" * tag 'nfsd-4.9' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: NFSD: Implement the COPY call nfsd: handle EUCLEAN nfsd: only WARN once on unmapped errors exportfs: be careful to only return expected errors. nfsd4: setclientid_confirm with unmatched verifier should fail nfsd: randomize SETCLIENTID reply to help distinguish servers nfsd: set the MAY_NOTIFY_LOCK flag in OPEN replies nfs: add a new NFS4_OPEN_RESULT_MAY_NOTIFY_LOCK constant nfsd: add a LRU list for blocked locks nfsd: have nfsd4_lock use blocking locks for v4.1+ locks nfsd: plumb in a CB_NOTIFY_LOCK operation NFSD: fix corruption in notifier registration svcrdma: support Remote Invalidation svcrdma: Server-side support for rpcrdma_connect_private rpcrdma: RDMA/CM private message data structure svcrdma: Skip put_page() when send_reply() fails svcrdma: Tail iovec leaves an orphaned DMA mapping nfsd: fix dprintk in nfsd4_encode_getdeviceinfo nfsd: eliminate cb_minorversion field nfsd: don't set a FL_LAYOUT lease for flexfiles layouts
