Hi John, I prototyped an invalidate upcall for libcephfs and the Gasesha Ceph fsal, building on the Client invalidation callback registrations. As you suggested, NFS (or AFS, or DCE) minimally expect a more generic "cached vnode may have changed" trigger than the current inode and dentry invalidates, so I extended the model slightly to hook cap revocation, feedback appreciated. git@xxxxxxxxxx:linuxbox2/ceph.git , branch invalidate git@xxxxxxxxxx:linuxbox2/nfs-ganesha.git , branch ceph-invalidates thanks, Matt -- Matt Benjamin Red Hat, Inc. 315 West Huron Street, Suite 140A Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103 http://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/storage tel. 734-761-4689 fax. 734-769-8938 cel. 734-216-5309 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
