OK, I went for the former; if you'd rather get this out of git, you can git clone http://www.linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git git checkout server-cluster-lease-api The changes from the last version seem pretty trivial, but I've compile-tested this only for now. I'm ignoring the problem of breaking leases on unlink and rename. I think we should go ahead and do this part now--it's adequate for the current lease semantics, and even more so for our current application (just turning off leases selectively on some filesystems)--but I'd really like to solve that problem eventually. That's probably not going to happen until we get a cluster filesystem with real lease support into the kernel.... Changes: - do away with the break_lease method. - rename __setlease to setlease, setlease to vfs_setlease, and make sure it's setlease (the one that doesn't call into the filesystem) that's exported. - rename ->set_lease to ->setlease. (I don't really care which we go with, it just seemed confusing when everything else was already named without the underscore.) - Add a trivial patch that disables leases on nfs (as suggested by a patch elsewhere from Peter Staubach) --b. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
