Pull vfs exportfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains work to bring NFS connectable file handles to userspace servers. The name_to_handle_at() system call is extended to encode connectable file handles. Such file handles can be resolved to an open file with a connected path. So far userspace NFS servers couldn't make use of this functionality even though the kernel does already support it. This is achieved by introducing a new flag for name_to_handle_at(). Similarly, the open_by_handle_at() system call is tought to understand connectable file handles explicitly created via name_to_handle_at()" * tag 'vfs-6.13.exportfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: open_by_handle_at() support for decoding "explicit connectable" file handles fs: name_to_handle_at() support for "explicit connectable" file handles fs: prepare for "explicit connectable" file handles
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.
