nfs.ko, nfsd.ko, and lockd.ko all use crc32_le(), which is available
only when CONFIG_CRC32 is enabled. But the only NFS kconfig option that
selected CONFIG_CRC32 was CONFIG_NFS_DEBUG, which is client-specific and
did not actually guard the use of crc32_le() even on the client.
The code worked around this bug by only actually calling crc32_le() when
CONFIG_CRC32 is built-in, instead hard-coding '0' in other cases. This
avoided randconfig build errors, and in real kernels the fallback code
was unlikely to be reached since CONFIG_CRC32 is 'default y'. But, this
really needs to just be done properly, especially now that I'm planning
to update CONFIG_CRC32 to not be 'default y'.
Therefore, make CONFIG_NFS_FS, CONFIG_NFSD, and CONFIG_LOCKD select
CONFIG_CRC32. Then remove the fallback code that becomes unnecessary,
as well as the selection of CONFIG_CRC32 from CONFIG_NFS_DEBUG.

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.
