Linux 6.14 NFS Adds Direct I/O With LOCALIO, Attribute Delegation Support


The Network File System (NFS) client and server changes have been merged for the ongoing Linux 6.14 merge window.

The NFS server updates were also merged for Linux 6.14. Notable here is NFSv4.2+ attribute delegation support: This interoperates with similar functionality introduced into the Linux NFS client in v6.11. An attribute delegation permits an NFS client to manage a file's mtime, rather than flushing dirty data to the NFS server so that the file's mtime reflects the last write, which is considerably slower."
