If a timeout is specified in the mount options, it currently applies to
both the NFS protocol and (with v3) the MOUNT protocol. This is
sensible when they both use the same underlying protocol, or those
protocols are compatible w.r.t timeouts as RDMA and TCP are.
However if, for example, NFS is using TCP and MOUNT is using UDP then
using the same timeout doesn't make much sense.
If you
mount -o vers=3,proto=tcp,mountproto=udp,timeo=600,retrans=5 \
server:/path /mountpoint
then the timeo=600 which was intended for the NFS/TCP request will
apply to the MOUNT/UDP requests with the result that there will only be
one request sent (because UDP has a maximum timeout of 60 seconds).
This is not what a reasonable person might expect.
This patch disables the sharing of timeout information in cases where
the underlying protocols are not compatible.

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.
