NFS and Samba/SMB3 requirements
--------------------------------------------------

There are various topics of common interest to network file systems
(and probably some cluster file systems as well) - common to both
NFSv4.x and SMB3, and some are problems for both the kernels client
and file servers.

For example

- how to allow full support for leases (including upgrades/downgrades)
and delegations
- whether to allow directory leases/delegations
- faster file copy; the proper common API into copy offload (allow
faster server side copy via either T10-like or CopyChunk mechanisms)
- Whether there is value in implementing the new cache/no-cache flags
on read/write, and per-write writethrough flag
- RichACLs (already mentioned as topic for discussion in earlier posts)

Similarly testing of NFSv4.x and SMB3 have many common pain points -
and the recent improvements to xfstests allow more testing of network
file systems, but also show problems common to both NFS an SMB3.
