Neil Brown and Jeff Layton contributed a dynamic thread pool sizing
mechanism for NFSD. The sunrpc layer now tracks minimum and maximum
thread counts per pool, and NFSD adjusts running thread counts based
on workload: idle threads exit after a timeout when the pool exceeds
its minimum, and new threads spawn automatically when all threads
are busy. Administrators control this behavior via the nfsdctl
netlink interface.
Rick Macklem, FreeBSD NFS maintainer, generously contributed server-
side support for the POSIX ACL extension to NFSv4, as specified in
draft-ietf-nfsv4-posix-acls. This extension allows NFSv4 clients to
get and set POSIX access and default ACLs using native NFSv4
operations, eliminating the need for sideband protocols. The feature
is gated by a Kconfig option since the IETF draft has not yet been
ratified.
Chuck Lever delivered numerous improvements to the xdrgen tool.
Error reporting now covers parsing, AST transformation, and invalid
declarations. Generated enum decoders validate incoming values
against valid enumerator lists. New features include pass-through
line support for embedding C directives in XDR specifications,
16-bit integer types, and program number definitions. Several code
generation issues were also addressed.
When an administrator revokes NFSv4 state for a filesystem via the
unlock_fs interface, ongoing async COPY operations referencing that
filesystem are now cancelled, with CB_OFFLOAD callbacks notifying
affected clients.
The remaining patches in this pull request are clean-ups and minor
optimizations. Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers,
testers, and bug reporters who participated in the v7.0 NFSD
development cycle.
