Hi Tom, The thinking is that NFSRDMA could initially use a TCP callback channel. We'll implement BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION so that the backchannel does not need to be tied to the forechannel connection. This should address the case where you have NFSRDMA for the forechannel and TCP for the backchannel. BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION is also required to reestablish dropped connections effectively (to avoid losing the reply cache). We're first trying to get enough of the backchannel functionality implemented to make it useful. We can then build on that. Tom Talpey and I had a brief conversation about what would be needed to implement the backchannel over NFSRDMA some time ago. We didn't see anything inherently wrong with the current approach. Tom mentioned there needs to be some RDMA work during the pre-allocation. It will also need to inspect the RPC direction to determine if it needs to queue the request on the callback service, or proceed as usual with the processing of the request. - ricardo > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Tucker [mailto:tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 4:44 PM > To: Labiaga, Ricardo > Cc: Trond Myklebust; Benny Halevy; NFS list; pNFS Mailing List > Subject: Re: [pnfs] nfs41: sunrpc: handle clnt==NULL in call_status > > Ricardo: > > I don't mean to throw this whole discussion down a rat-hole, but the > current back channel architecture isn't transport independent, so > NFSRDMA on NFS41 is basically broken because all the back-channel logic > is in the xprtsock.c (transport specific) file.
