[PATCH v2 24/28] nfsd: add a fi_connectable flag to struct nfs4_file

From: Jeff Layton

Date: Thu Apr 16 2026 - 13:40:20 EST


When encoding a filehandle for a CB_NOTIFY, there is no svc_export
available, but the server needs to know whether to encode a connectable
filehandle. Add a flag to the nfs4_file that tells whether the
svc_export under which a directory delegation was acquired has subtree
checking enabled, in which case it needs connectable filehandles.
