There are some applications that write to predefined non-overlapping file offsets from multiple clients and therefore don't need to rely on file locking. However, if these applications want non-aligned offsets and sizes they need to either use locks or risk data corruption, as the NFS client defaults to extending writes to whole pages. This commit adds a new mount option `noalignwrite`, which allows to turn that off and avoid the need of locking, as long as these applications don't overlap on offsets.

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.
