Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

When invalidating a file as part of breaking a lease, the folios holding
the file data are disposed of, and truncate calls ->invalidate_folio()
to get rid of them rather than calling ->release_folio(). This means
that the netfs_inode::zero_point value didn't get updated in current
upstream code to reflect the point after which we can assume that the
server will only return zeroes, and future reads will then return blocks
of zeroes if the file got extended for any region beyond the old zero
point.
Fix this by updating zero_point before invalidating the inode in
cifs_revalidate_mapping().

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
"This is a light release containing mostly optimizations, code clean-
ups, and minor bug fixes. This development cycle has focused on non-
upstream kernel work:
1. Continuing to build upstream CI for NFSD, based on kdevops
2. Backporting NFSD filecache-related fixes to selected LTS kernels
One notable new feature in v6.10 NFSD is the addition of a new netlink
protocol dedicated to configuring NFSD. A new user space tool,
nfsdctl, is to be added to nfs-utils. Lots more to come here.
As always I am very grateful to NFSD contributors, reviewers, testers,
and bug reporters who participated during this cycle"

...
We've discovered that delivering a CB_OFFLOAD operation can be
unreliable in some pretty unremarkable situations. Examples
include:
- The server dropped the connection because it lost a forechannel
NFSv4 request and wishes to force the client to retransmit
- The GSS sequence number window under-flowed
- A network partition occurred
When that happens, all pending callback operations, including
CB_OFFLOAD, are lost. NFSD does not retransmit them.
Moreover, the Linux NFS client does not yet support sending an
OFFLOAD_STATUS operation to probe whether an asynchronous COPY
operation has finished. Thus, on Linux NFS clients, when a
CB_OFFLOAD is lost, asynchronous COPY can hang until manually
interrupted.
I've tried a couple of remedies, but so far the side-effects are
worse than the disease and they have had to be reverted. So
temporarily force COPY operations to be synchronous so that the use
of CB_OFFLOAD is avoided entirely. This is a fix that can easily be
backported to LTS kernels. I am working on client patches that
introduce an implementation of OFFLOAD_STATUS.
Note that NFSD arbitrarily limits the size of a copy_file_range
to 4MB to avoid indefinitely blocking an nfsd thread. A short
COPY result is returned in that case, and the client can present
a fresh COPY request for the remainder.

Write through mode is for cache=none, not for default (when
caching is allowed if we have a lease). Some tests were running
much, much more slowly as a result of disabling caching of
writes by default.
