Subject: Status of READPLUS support in Linux 6.5 kernel?

Good morning!

Is NFSv4 READPLUS usable in a Linux 6.5 kernel, for a NFSv4 client and
NFSv4 sever?

Thanks,
Martin

Linux 6.5 has a useable READ_PLUS server implementation, but the
client only uses it if you enable a Kconfig option. I'd recommend
using Linux 6.6 on the client, since it contains some important
READ_PLUS bugfixes. Linux 6.6 also defaults to compiling in the
READ_PLUS operation, so you only need to change kconfig options if you
want it turned off.

I hope this helps!
