NFS Server Scalability Improvement & Other NFS Enhancements For Linux 6.13


There are a few Network File System (NFS) enhancements worth pointing out with the in-development Linux 6.13 kernel.

Sent out on Tuesday were the NFSD changes for Linux 6.13 which include a scalability improvement to the NFS server's NFSv4 back-channel session implementation. This improvement is intended to increase the rate at which NFSD can safely recall NFSv4 delegations from clients, to avoid the need to revoke them. This round there are a number of NFS client fixes, local I/O clean-ups, making processes that are waiting for an I/O lock killable, and other changes.
