The Linux client assumes that all filehandles are non-volatile for renames within the same directory (otherwise sillyrename cannot work). However, the existence of the Linux 'subtree_check' export option has meant that nfs_rename() has always assumed it needs to flush writes before attempting to rename. Since NFSv4 does allow the client to query whether or not the server exhibits this behaviour, and since knfsd does actually set the appropriate flag when 'subtree_check' is enabled on an export, it should be OK to optimise away the write flushing behaviour in the cases where it is clearly not needed.

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 reStructuredText 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.
