If two calls to nfsd_open_local_fh() race and both successfully call
nfsd_file_acquire_local(), they will both get an extra reference to the
net to accompany the file reference stored in *pnf.

One of them will fail to store (using xchg()) the file reference in
*pnf and will drop that reference but WON'T drop the accompanying
reference to the net.  This leak means that when the nfs server is shut
down it will hang in nfsd_shutdown_net() waiting for
&amp;nn-&gt;nfsd_net_free_done.

This patch adds the missing nfsd_net_put().

<title>nfsd: don't set the ctime on delegated atime updates</title>

Clients will typically precede a DELEGRETURN for a delegation with
delegated timestamp with a SETATTR to set the timestamps on the server
to match what the client has.

knfsd implements this by using the nfsd_setattr() infrastructure, which
will set ATTR_CTIME on any update that goes to notify_change(). This is
problematic as it means that the client will get a spurious ctime
update when updating the atime.

POSIX unfortunately doesn't phrase it succinctly, but updating the atime
due to reads should not update the ctime. In this case, the client is
sending a SETATTR to update the atime on the server to match its latest
value. The ctime should not be advanced in this case as that would
incorrectly indicate a change to the inode.

Fix this by not implicitly setting ATTR_CTIME when ATTR_DELEG is set in
__nfsd_setattr(). The decoder for FATTR4_WORD2_TIME_DELEG_MODIFY already
sets ATTR_CTIME, so this is sufficient to make it skip setting the ctime
on atime-only updates.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

   - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

   - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh

     where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
     across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

   - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

   - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

   - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
     netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
     refactoring. Add a number of selftests

   - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
     should be used for an inbound SA lookup

   - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

   - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
     Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

   - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

   - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

   - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

   - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT

Pull misc VFS updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support

     This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
     write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
     argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
     to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.

     Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
     and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.

     Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
     bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
     directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
     Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
     kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.

  Cleanups:

   - don't duplicate vfs_open() in kernel_file_open()

   - proc_fd_getattr(): don't bother with S_ISDIR() check

   - fs/ecryptfs: replace snprintf with sysfs_emit in show function

   - vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() from
     evict_inodes()

   - filelock: add new locks_wake_up_waiter() helper

   - fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end()

   - VFS: change old_dir and new_dir in struct renamedata to dentrys

   - netfs: Remove unused declaration netfs_queue_write_request()

  Fixes:

   - eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion

   - eventpoll: fix sphinx documentation build warning

   - fs/read_write: Fix spelling typo

   - fs: annotate data race between poll_schedule_timeout() and
     pollwake()

   - fs/pipe: set FMODE_NOWAIT in create_pipe_files()

   - docs/vfs: update references to i_mutex to i_rwsem

   - fs/buffer: remove comment about hard sectorsize

   - fs/buffer: remove the min and max limit checks in __getblk_slow()

   - fs/libfs: don't assume blocksize &lt;= PAGE_SIZE in
     generic_check_addressable

   - fs_context: fix parameter name in infofc() macro

   - fs: Prevent file descriptor table allocations exceeding INT_MAX"

Compilers are allowed to insert padding and reorder the
fields in a struct, so using a union of an array and a
struct in struct knfsd_fh is not reliable.

The position of elements in an array is more reliable.

<title>Revert "NFSD: Force all NFSv4.2 COPY requests to be synchronous"</title>

<content type='text'>
In the past several kernel releases, we've made NFSv4.2 async copy
reliable:
 - The Linux NFS client and server now both implement and use the
   NFSv4.2 OFFLOAD_STATUS operation
 - The Linux NFS server keeps copy stateids around longer
 - The Linux NFS client and server now both implement referring call
   lists

And resilient against DoS:
 - The Linux NFS server limits the number of concurrent async copy
   operations
