Linus Torvalds 73ccb023a2 NFS client updates for Linux 4.12
Highlights include:
 
 Stable bugfixes:
 - Fix use after free in write error path
 - Use GFP_NOIO for two allocations in writeback
 - Fix a hang in OPEN related to server reboot
 - Check the result of nfs4_pnfs_ds_connect
 - Fix an rcu lock leak
 
 Features:
 - Removal of the unmaintained and unused OSD pNFS layout
 - Cleanup and removal of lots of unnecessary dprintk()s
 - Cleanup and removal of some memory failure paths now that
   GFP_NOFS is guaranteed to never fail.
 - Remove the v3-only data server limitation on pNFS/flexfiles
 
 Bugfixes:
 - RPC/RDMA connection handling bugfixes
 - Copy offload: fixes to ensure the copied data is COMMITed to disk.
 - Readdir: switch back to using the ->iterate VFS interface
 - File locking fixes from Ben Coddington
 - Various use-after-free and deadlock issues in pNFS
 - Write path bugfixes
