Merge tag 'nfs-for-4.4-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs

Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
 "Highlights include:

  New features:
   - RDMA client backchannel from Chuck
   - Support for NFSv4.2 file CLONE using the btrfs ioctl

  Bugfixes + cleanups:
   - Move socket data receive out of the bottom halves and into a
     workqueue
   - Refactor NFSv4 error handling so synchronous and asynchronous RPC
     handles errors identically.
   - Fix a panic when blocks or object layouts reads return a bad data
     length
   - Fix nfsroot so it can handle a 1024 byte long path.
   - Fix bad usage of page offset in bl_read_pagelist
   - Various NFSv4 callback cleanups+fixes
   - Fix GETATTR bitmap verification
   - Support hexadecimal number for sunrpc debug sysctl files"
