Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
- Mike Snitzer's mechanism for disabling I/O caching introduced in
v6.18 is extended to include using direct I/O. The goal is to further
reduce the memory footprint consumed by NFS clients accessing large
data sets via NFSD.
- The NFSD community adopted a maintainer entry profile during this
cycle. See
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsd-maintainer-entry-profile.rst
- Work continues on hardening NFSD's implementation of the pNFS block
layout type. This type enables pNFS clients to directly access the
underlying block devices that contain an exported file system,
reducing server overhead and increasing data throughput.
- The remaining patches are clean-ups and minor optimizations. Many
thanks to the contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who
participated during the v6.19 NFSD development cycle.
