From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>

This is all out of date.  It has some historical interest--but we can
leave that in the history.

I recently noticed that Fedora was installing this stuff to
/usr/share/doc, which can only serve to confuse users.  Other distros
may be tempted to do the same.

Apologies, that broke the build!  This version also removes references
to the deleted directories.

-Release 0.4.11
-
- *	Added async writes.
- *	Fixed bug where two rpciod's would be started when insmod'ing
-	both nfs.o and nfsd.o.
-
-Release 0.4.12
-
- *	Fixed compile problem after renaming some debug macros.
- *	Improved readdir cache, which can now hold up to 16 (configurable)
-	readdir replies.
- *	Fixed async write bug(s)
- *	client file locking now does at least lock/unlock without
-	crashing the machine
- *	Started to work on NFS swapping
- *	nfs_get_super no longer requires the file handle passed by
-	mount but does a straight xprt_create_proto().
- *	TCP reconnect should work now (not yet tested for long disconnect
-	periods, but it does work if you kill and restart nfsd).
-
-Release 0.4.13
-
- *	More writeback bugs removed.
- *	Added a modified (and ansified) tirpc rpcgen to get rid of all
-	the warnings in files generated from *.x descriptions. That old Sun
-	code is a real mess.
- *	Cleaned up nfsd export handling a bit. All syscalls now
-	take dev/ino rather than the pathname.
- *	Added sysctl interface to set/get debug flags (see tools/rpcdebug).
- *	Cleaned up Makefiles.
- *	(experimental) Gathered writes for nfsd (use the wdelay option in
-	/etc/exports).
- *	Fixed silly bug in nfs_readdir (the in-place decoding of readdir
-	replies requires a temporary buffer).
- *	Fixed readdir bug in nfsd (long directories were truncated).
-
-Release 0.4.14
-
- *	Upgraded to kernel 2.0.23
- *	Fixed bug in rpcdebug
- *	readdir still didn't work right in nfsd. Argh!
- *	nfsd would refuse to create symlinks with slashes in them:-)
- *	nfsd's RPC reply cache should now work again.
- *	Heavily modified rpc.statd for more robust callback/notify handling
-
-Release 0.4.17
-
- *	Upgraded to kernel 2.1.14
- *	Got lockd working with HPUX in most areas.
-
-Release 0.4.19
-
- *	RPC server UDP sockets now receive the sk_buff directly rather
-	than going through sock->ops->recvmsg.
-	Also got rid of all those cli/sti's and replaced them with
-	disable_bh/enable_bh calls.
- *	Fixed a bug in nfsd's handling of rename and friends.
-
-Release 0.4.20
-
- *	Some bugfixes, esp in the writeback code
- *	Avoid some unnecessary cli/sti pairs
- *	Added nhfsstone
-
-Release 0.4.21
-
- *	Minor bugfixes
- *	Moved to post-2.1.16 module handling code
-
-Release 0.4.22
-
- *	Fixed a bug that made rpcinfo -u host nlockmgr provoke a kernel
-	oops.
- *	Upgraded to mount-2.6b
- *	Added NFSv3 support to mountd and nfsd

-Even though the Makefiles offer a `make install' instruction,

-This is the Linux kernel NFS daemon 1.4.7. It is based on linux-nfs
-0.4.22. It is tested on Linux/alpha and Linux/x86 running glibc 2.1.1.
-
-WARNING: The NFS servers in Linux 2.2 to 2.2.11 are not compatible with
-other NFS client implemenations. If you plan to use Linux 2.2.x as an
-NFS server for non-Linux NFS clients, you should apply the patches
-enlosed here.
-
-linux-2.2.7-sunrpc.patch, nfsd-2.2.7-2.lockd.patch, nfsd-2.2.7-3.patch
-and nfsd-2.2.7-nfsfh.patch are required for Linux 2.2.7 to 2.2.11.
-For other kernel versions, they have to be applied by hand if they are
-still needed.
-
-For Linux 2.2.7 to 2.2.10, nfsd-2.2.7-1.lock.patch is also required.
-
-I made my knfsd package available only because I use it and noone else
-seems to maintain it. But I don't have much time to really work on it.
-I will only fix bugs in the NFS utilities and serious kernel NFS bugs
-which I can duplcate easily. If you have any kernel NFS server problem,
-please report it to the Linux kernel mailing list. If it can be
-reproduced with Linux NFS server and client in less than 5 minutes, you
-can also send me a copy in addition to sending it to the Linux kernel
-mailing list. I may take a look when I have time. However I will collect
-kernel NFS related patches. Contributions are more than welcome.
-
-The NFS lock only works with lockd. Please make sure the portmapper,
-portmap, is started before mounting NFS.
-
-Changes from knfsd 1.4.6:
-
-1. Fix a typo in knfslock.init.
-2. A new kernel patch, nfsd-2.2.7-1.lock.patch, to fix some NFS lock
-   bugs.
-
-Changes from knfsd 1.4.5:
-
-1. Rename /var/lib/nfs/xtab.export to /var/lib/nfs/etab.
-
-Changes from knfsd 1.4.4:
-
-1. Try to fix mountd performance problem by introducing
-   /var/lib/nfs/xtab.export. That is
-   
-  a. "exportfs" reads from /var/lib/nfs/xtab and writes to
-     /var/lib/nfs/xtab.export.
-  b. "mountd" reads from /var/lib/nfs/xtab.export and writes to
-     /var/lib/nfs/xtab.
-
-  The idea is "mountd" doesn't have to read /var/lib/nfs/xtab, which
-  is very expensive.

-3. Add knfslock.init.
-4. knfsd-compat.spec is removed.

-You have to apply the patch, locks-2.2.3.diff, to the Linux kernel
-first. It fixes quite some file lock bugs. That patch is against Linux
-2.2.3. If your kernel is different, you have to apply it by hand.
-
-nfsd-2.2.3-1.patch is a new knfsd patch against linux 2.2.3 from
-"G. Allen Morris III" (gam3@acm.org). It works for me on x86 and alpha.
-It is needed for the none-Linux NFS clients. You can get Allen's
-current patch from
-
-http://www.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU/~gam3/knfsd/
-
-nfsd-2.2.7-3.patch is based on nfsd-2.2.3-1.patch for Linux 2.2.7. If
-you use Linux 2.2.7, you should apply nfsd-2.2.7-3.patch instead of
-nfsd-2.2.3-1.patch. Please don't use any other patches included here
-for Linux 2.2.7. For other kernel versions, you may have to apply it
-by hand.
-
-nfsd-2.2.7-2.lockd.patch is also necessary to start lockd independent
-of nfs and nfsd.
-
-To compile, just do
-
-# ./configure
-# make
-
-Makefile will try to determine which C library you are using and compile
-this package accordingly.
-
-# make install
-
-will install the knfsd binaries. You have to install a knfs start up
-script by hand. There is a new rc.nfsd in etc. I use it for both the
-user-space nfsd and the kernel nfsd.
-
-There is one RPM spec file, knfs.spec, which is for a Linux system
-based on Linux 2.2 without support for Linux 2.0. You also need
-knfsd-1.4.6.tar.gz to create the knfsd RPMs.
-
-Thanks.

-
-This thing has become much too large for me to handle all alone anymore.

-	This piece of software owes a lot to all the people who
-	hacked on Linux NFS before me, most notably Rick Sladkey
-	and Donald Becker.
-
-	I also wish to thank Holger Grothe for loaning me a hard
-	disk and a monitor to get my old 486 flying again so I have
-	a decentish test platform.

-Todo/Status List for Linux-NFS
-
- *	denotes to be done;
- o	denotes draft implementation, possibly commented out
- -	denotes done,
- +	denotes done and tested
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-RPC:
-
- *	Server-side AUTH_DES authentication
-
-NFS:
-
- *	stat() calls don't check whether the cached attrs are stil valid
-	(this is a problem in the VFS).
- -	NFS_ROOT stuff needs fixing.
- o	Swapping over NFS.
-
-	Issues of swapout:
-	 *	Avoid recursion in low memory situations where
-		kmalloc may call try_to_swap_out etc ad inf.
-	 *	Don't do async I/O on swap files.
-
-	For special-casing related to NFS swap I/O, flag swap file 
-	semantics in inode->i_flags. In swapfile.c, change functions
-	to call readpage/writepage if available, otherwise proceed
-	as usual.
-
- -	Write-back support.
- *	Disable page cache invalidation/flushing for locked file
-	regions.
- -	Directory caching (we now have page-sized dircache entries
-	which could easily be organized into a linked list). These
-	dircache pages come along as a linked list that can be copied
-	almost 1-to-1 into a dirent struct. If this is put into the
-	VFS, other remote fs's will also benefit.
-
-	[Note: I just increased the readdir cache to hold more than
-	one directory. With this, the exclusive lock on readdir goes
-	away, too. With a larger cache, it may also be worth to think
-	about directory readahead...]
- *	Better lookup caching?
- *	When a read lock is present, don't time out attr cache or
-	page cache for that region. Likewise, if a write lock is present,
-	be lazy on write-back.
- *	Implement CTO.
- -	BUG: Invalidate readdir cache after remove/rename/unlink
- *	Automatic `mounting' when the server crosses mount points
-	transparently (some IRIX machines seem to do this when
-	using -nohide).
- *	NFSv3 support. This requires careful design to maximize
-	code sharing between NFSv2 and NFSv3.
- *	More robust rename handling (see comment before nfs_rename).
- *	Add Miquel's O_EXCL hack for file creation.
- *	Performance improvement: When a complete reply is received, and
-	the (async) task is woken up, don't put it on rpciod's scheduling
-	queue, but add it to a `fast scheduler queue.' The fast scheduler
-	could be a special handler that's registered on the tq_scheduler task
-	queue. This queue is fired by the kernel scheduler as soon as
-	the other bottom halves have been run.
-
-	Note that implementing this for sync tasks is even trickier than
-	for async tasks, because you have to make sure you do the right
-	thing in rpc_sleep_on().
- *	writeback of writable mmaps. Dirty pages are not subject to
-	writeback scheduling. Also, msync should make sure pages are
-	written with O_SYNC on.
-
-
-nfsd:
-
- *	uid/gid mapping, and rpc.ugidd support
- -	Don't read/write a file that might have mandatory locks.
- *	Implement secure/kerberos export options (take care of lockd
-	fopen() calls--most clients seem to use NULL creds for lockd).
- -	there's a bug in readdir wrt large directories. Try mounting
-	the linux source tree and do an ls on include/linux...
- *	Support for UNIX socket creation.
- *	Someone should look over the error return codes. I tend to
-	mix up EPERM and EACCES.
- *	NFSv3 support.
- -	Refuse to look up inodes in procfs (security issues).
- o	Delayed writes (delay syncing of file data when nfsd handles
-	several write requests for the same file concurrently).
-	(Draft - see nfsd_write in fs/nfsd/write.c. Needs benchmarking).
- *	Faster read operations (single copy): mmap the file region
-	to be read into VM, and pass the VMA to the xdr routines
-	which pass the region's VM address into sock->ops->writemsg.
-	This copies the file data directly from the page cache into
-	the network buffer.
-	Release the vma region after encoding.
- *	Faster write operations (single copy, with IPv6 net layout):
-	Get the unfragmented UDP datagram, pull the header and
-	do normal processing. Then mmap the file, copy the write data,
-	and release VMA.
- -	Clear setuid/setgid bit after write().
- *	Quota support.
-
-lockd:
-
- *	Server should run on privileged port.
- *	Testing reclaim support.
- *	HP lockd accepts our GRANT_MSG callback and passes on the grant
-	to the blocking process, but doesn't reply with a GRANT_RES. 
-	It's not clear to me why it would do this.
- *	Unregister hosts (SM_UNMON) with rpc.statd when appropriate.
-
-mountd
-
- *	Unregister service from portmapper upon exit/SIGTERM
-
-mount
-
- *	If available, use version 3 of the mount protocol and
-	obtain pathconf data (fill in data->bsize).
