Instead of calling xchg() and unrcu_pointer() before
nfsd_file_put_local(), we now pass pointer to the __rcu pointer and call
xchg() and unrcu_pointer() inside that function.
Where unrcu_pointer() is currently called the internals of "struct
nfsd_file" are not known and that causes older compilers such as gcc-8
to complain.
In some cases we have a __kernel (aka normal) pointer not an __rcu
pointer so we need to cast it to __rcu first. This is strictly a
weakening so no information is lost. Somewhat surprisingly, this cast
is accepted by gcc-8.
This has the pleasing result that the cmpxchg() which sets ro_file and
rw_file, and also the xchg() which clears them, are both now in the nfsd
code.

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.
