"exactly once" semantics and better control and throttling of the
resources allocated for each client.
-Other NFSv4.1 features, Parallel NFS operations in particular,
-are still under development out of tree.

The table below, taken from the NFSv4.1 document, lists
the operations that are mandatory to implement (REQ), optional
(OPT), and NFSv4.0 operations that are required not to implement (MNI)
The following abbreviations indicate the linux server implementation status.
I Implemented NFSv4.1 operations.
NS Not Supported.
- NS* unimplemented optional feature.
- P pNFS features implemented out of tree.
- PNS pNFS features that are not supported yet (out of tree).
+ NS* Unimplemented optional feature.
