Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
 "The nfsd update this round is mainly a lot of miscellaneous cleanups
  and bugfixes.

  A couple changes could theoretically break working setups on upgrade.
  I don't expect complaints in practice, but they seem worth calling out
  just in case:

   - NFS security labels are now off by default; a new security_label
     export flag reenables it per export. But, having them on by default
     is a disaster, as it generally only makes sense if all your clients
     and servers have similar enough selinux policies. Thanks to Jason
     Tibbitts for pointing this out.

   - NFSv4/UDP support is off. It was never really supported, and the
     spec explicitly forbids it. We only ever left it on out of
     laziness; thanks to Jeff Layton for finally fixing that"

* tag 'nfsd-4.11' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (34 commits)

User always free the cache_detail after sunrpc_destroy_cache_detail(),
so, it must cleanup up entries that left in the cache_detail,
otherwise, NULL reference may be caused when using the left entries.

Also, NeriBrown suggests "write a stand-alone cache_purge()."

v3, move the cache_fresh_unlocked() out of write lock,
v2, a stand-alone cache_purge(), not only for sunrpc_destroy_cache_detail

<title>svcrpc: free contexts immediately on PROC_DESTROY</title>

<id>2b477c00f3bd87c3286f5940cb4174d8b01ee0d5</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently handle a client PROC_DESTROY request by turning it
CACHE_NEGATIVE, setting the expired time to now, and then waiting for
cache_clean to clean it up later.  Since we forgot to set the cache's
nextcheck value, that could take up to 30 minutes.  Also, though there's
probably no real bug in this case, setting CACHE_NEGATIVE directly like
this probably isn't a great idea in general.

So let's just remove the entry from the cache directly, and move this
bit of cache manipulation to a helper function.

Since we need to change the implementation, stop exposing internals.

Provide kref_read() to read the current reference count; typically
used for debug messages.

Kills two anti-patterns:

	atomic_read(&amp;kref-&gt;refcount)
	kref-&gt;refcount.counter

sunrpc uses workqueue to clean cache regulary. There is no real dependency
of executing work on the cpu which queueing it.

On a idle system, especially for a heterogeneous systems like big.LITTLE,
it is observed that the big idle cpu was woke up many times just to service
this work, which against the principle of power saving. It would be better
if we can schedule it on a cpu which the scheduler believes to be the most
appropriate one.

After apply this patch, system_wq will be replaced by
system_power_efficient_wq for sunrpc. This functionality is enabled when
CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is selected.
