Linus Torvalds 4e1c80ae5c NFSD 6.4 Release Notes
The big ticket item for this release is support for RPC-with-TLS
 [RFC 9289] has been added to the Linux NFS server. The goal is to
 provide a simple-to-deploy, low-overhead in-transit confidentiality
 and peer authentication mechanism. It can supplement NFS Kerberos
 and it can protect the use of legacy non-cryptographic user
 authentication flavors such as AUTH_SYS. The TLS Record protocol is
 handled entirely by kTLS, meaning it can use either software
 encryption or offload encryption to smart NICs.
 
 Work continues on improving NFSD's open file cache. Among the many
 clean-ups in that area is a patch to convert the rhashtable to use
 the list-hashing version of that data structure.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
