Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
 "I'm thrilled to announce that the Linux in-kernel NFS server now
  offers NFSv4 write delegations. A write delegation enables a client to
  cache data and metadata for a single file more aggressively, reducing
  network round trips and server workload. Many thanks to Dai Ngo for
  contributing this facility, and to Jeff Layton and Neil Brown for
  reviewing and testing it.

  This release also sees the removal of all support for DES- and
  triple-DES-based Kerberos encryption types in the kernel's SunRPC
  implementation. These encryption types have been deprecated by the
  Internet community for years and are considered insecure. This change
  affects both the in-kernel NFS client and server.

  The server's UDP and TCP socket transports have now fully adopted
  David Howells' new bio_vec iterator so that no more than one sendmsg()
  call is needed to transmit each RPC message. In particular, this helps
  kTLS optimize record boundaries when sending RPC-with-TLS replies, and
  it takes the server a baby step closer to handling file I/O via
  folios.

  We've begun work on overhauling the SunRPC thread scheduler to remove
  a costly linked-list walk when looking for an idle RPC service thread
  to wake. The pre-requisites are included in this release. Thanks to
  Neil Brown for his ongoing work on this improvement"

     This flag causes nfsd to close any open files for this inode _before_
     calling into the vfs to do an unlink or a rename that would replace
     an existing file.
+
+  EXPORT_OP_REMOTE_FS - Backing storage for this filesystem is remote
+    PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE exists for loopback NFSD, where a thread needs to
+    write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up writes queued
+    to another bdi (the client bdi). Such threads get a private balance
+    of dirty pages so that dirty pages for the client bdi do not imact
+    the daemon writing to the final bdi. For filesystems whose durable
+    storage is not local (such as exported NFS filesystems), this
+    constraint has negative consequences. EXPORT_OP_REMOTE_FS enables
+    an export to disable writeback throttling.
+
+  EXPORT_OP_NOATOMIC_ATTR - Filesystem does not update attributes atomically
+    EXPORT_OP_NOATOMIC_ATTR indicates that the exported filesystem
+    cannot provide the semantics required by the "atomic" boolean in
+    NFSv4's change_info4. This boolean indicates to a client whether the
+    returned before and after change attributes were obtained atomically
+    with the respect to the requested metadata operation (UNLINK,
+    OPEN/CREATE, MKDIR, etc).
+
+  EXPORT_OP_FLUSH_ON_CLOSE - Filesystem flushes file data on close(2)
+    On most filesystems, inodes can remain under writeback after the
+    file is closed. NFSD relies on client activity or local flusher
+    threads to handle writeback. Certain filesystems, such as NFS, flush
+    all of an inode's dirty data on last close. Exports that behave this
+    way should set EXPORT_OP_FLUSH_ON_CLOSE so that NFSD knows to skip
+    waiting for writeback when closing such files.
