Hi Bruce, Here's the latest server patches implementing the NFSv4.1 Sessions features. This patchset is based over your for-2.6.30 branch and is also available from git://linux-nfs.org/~bhalevy/linux-pnfs.git nfsd41-for-2.6.30 (tagged as nfsd41-for-2.6.30-2009-03-27) The implementation status highlights are captured in Documentation/filesystems/nfs41-server.txt. The gist of it is that the implementation is functional to the level of passing Connectathon tests with v2,v3,v4,v4.1 (tested with CONFIG_NFS_V4_1 defined to 'y') The patches are listed below. Thanks for your review and help with this project so far. Kudos to all the contributors (Authors/SOBs: Andy Adamson, Dean Hildebrand, Marc Eshel, Mike Sager, Ricardo Labiaga, and myself) This is a pretty significant milestone for us (well, the real one will be when all this ends up working flawlessly in the kernel. :) Benny [PATCH 01/47] nfsd: don't use the deferral service, return NFS4ERR_DELAY [PATCH 02/47] sunrpc: add cl_private field to struct rpc_clnt [PATCH 03/47] nfsd: embed nfsd4_current_state in nfsd4_compoundres [PATCH 04/47] nfsd: add a struct nfsd4_slot pointer to struct nfsd4_compound_state [PATCH 05/47] nfs41: common protocol definitions [PATCH 06/47] nfsd41: change NFSERR_REPLAY_ME [PATCH 07/47] nfsd41: Add Kconfig symbols for NFSv4.1 [PATCH 08/47] nfsd41: define nfs41 error codes [PATCH 09/47] nfsd41: sessions basic data types [PATCH 10/47] nfsd41: introduce nfs4_client cl_sessions list [PATCH 11/47] nfsd41: release_session when client is expired [PATCH 12/47] nfsd41: sessionid hashing [PATCH 13/47] nfsd41: xdr infrastructure [PATCH 14/47] nfsd: remove nfsd4_ops array size [PATCH 15/47] nfsd41: proc stubs [PATCH 16/47] nfsd41: exchange_id operation [PATCH 17/47] nfsd41: match clientid establishment method [PATCH 18/47] nfsd41: sequence operation [PATCH 19/47] nfsd41: enforce NFS4ERR_SEQUENCE_POS operation order rules [PATCH 20/47] nfsd41: DRC save, restore, and clear functions [PATCH 21/47] nfsd41: hard page limit for DRC [PATCH 22/47] nfsd41: nfsd DRC logic [PATCH 23/47] nfsd41: clear DRC cache on free_session [PATCH 24/47] nfsd41: create_session operation [PATCH 25/47] nfsd41: Add a create session replay cache [PATCH 26/47] nfsd41: non-page DRC for solo sequence responses [PATCH 27/47] nfsd41: destroy_session operation [PATCH 28/47] nfsd41: stateid handling [PATCH 29/47] nfsd41: check encode size for sessions maxresponse cached [PATCH 30/47] nfsd41: clientid handling [PATCH 31/47] nfsd41: access_valid [PATCH 32/47] nfsd41: add OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WANT nfs4_stateid bmap [PATCH 33/47] nfsd41: provide support for minor version 1 at rpc level [PATCH 34/47] nfsd: cleanup nfs4.0 callback encode routines [PATCH 35/47] nfsd: minorversion support for the back channel [PATCH 36/47] nfsd41: sunrpc: Added rpc server-side backchannel handling [PATCH 37/47] nfsd41: callback infrastructure [PATCH 38/47] nfsd41: Remember the auth flavor to use for callbacks [PATCH 39/47] nfsd41: introduce cl_cb_mutex [PATCH 40/47] nfsd41: cb_sequence callback [PATCH 41/47] nfsd41: introduce nfs4_cb_call_sync for nfs4 and nfs41 [PATCH 42/47] nfsd41: cb_recall callback [PATCH 43/47] nfsd41: pass writable attrs mask to nfsd4_decode_fattr [PATCH 44/47] nfsd41: support for 3-word long attribute bitmask [PATCH 45/47] nfsd41: SUPPATTR_EXCLCREAT attribute [PATCH 46/47] nfsd41: CREATE_EXCLUSIVE4_1 [PATCH 47/47] nfsd41: Documentation/filesystems/nfs41-server.txt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
