    Merge tag 'nfsd-4.8' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux · a71e3604
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
     "Highlights:
    
       - Trond made a change to the server's tcp logic that allows a fast
         client to better take advantage of high bandwidth networks, but may
         increase the risk that a single client could starve other clients;
         a new sunrpc.svc_rpc_per_connection_limit parameter should help
         mitigate this in the (hopefully unlikely) event this becomes a
         problem in practice.
    
       - Tom Haynes added a minimal flex-layout pnfs server, which is of no
         use in production for now--don't build it unless you're doing
         client testing or further server development"
