Merge tag 'nfs-for-3.12-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs
Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
 "Highlights include:

   - Fix NFSv4 recovery so that it doesn't recover lost locks in cases
     such as lease loss due to a network partition, where doing so may
     result in data corruption.  Add a kernel parameter to control
     choice of legacy behaviour or not.
   - Performance improvements when 2 processes are writing to the same
     file.
   - Flush data to disk when an RPCSEC_GSS session timeout is imminent.
   - Implement NFSv4.1 SP4_MACH_CRED state protection to prevent other
     NFS clients from being able to manipulate our lease and file
     locking state.
   - Allow sharing of RPCSEC_GSS caches between different rpc clients.
   - Fix the broken NFSv4 security auto-negotiation between client and
     server.
   - Fix rmdir() to wait for outstanding sillyrename unlinks to complete
   - Add a tracepoint framework for debugging NFSv4 state recovery
     issues.
   - Add tracing to the generic NFS layer.
   - Add tracing for the SUNRPC socket connection state.
   - Clean up the rpc_pipefs mount/umount event management.
   - Merge more patches from Chuck in preparation for NFSv4 migration
     support"
