2. Adding a new flag into "exportfs" command, say "h", such that
"exportfs -uh *:/export_path"
would un-export the entry and drop the NLM locks associated with the
entry.
What does the kernel interface end up looking like in that case?
Happy to see this new exportfs command gets positive response - it was
our original pick too.
Uploaded is part of a draft version of 2.4 base kernel patch - we're
cleaning up 2.6 patches at this moment. It basically adds a new export
flag (NFSEXP_FOLOCK - note that ex_flags is an int but is currently only
defined up to 16 bits) so nfs-util and kernel can communicate.
The nice thing about this approach is the recovery part - the take-over
server can use the counter part command to export and set grace period
for one particular interface within the same system call.
