From f6de7a39c181dfb8a2c534661a53c73afb3081cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2013 10:08:54 -0400 Subject: NFSv4: Document the recover_lost_locks kernel parameter Rename the new 'recover_locks' kernel parameter to 'recover_lost_locks' and change the default to 'false'. Document why in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt Move the 'recover_lost_locks' kernel parameter to fs/nfs/super.c to make it easy to backport to kernels prior to 3.6.x, which don't have a separate NFSv4 module.
