This patch series adds support for session dynamic slot management in accordance with Section 2.10.6.1 of RFC5661. By tracking the sr_target_highest_slotid and sr_highest_slotid in the server's replies to our SEQUENCE operations, we can figure out when it is safe to increase the number of RPC requests that go in parallel to the server, and when we should decrease that number. Trond Myklebust (20): NFSv4.1: Don't confuse CREATE_SESSION arguments and results NFSv4.1: Adjust CREATE_SESSION arguments when mounting a new filesystem NFSv4.1: We must bump the clientid sequence number after CREATE_SESSION NFSv4.1: nfs4_alloc_slots doesn't need zeroing NFSv4.1: clean up nfs4_recall_slot to use nfs4_alloc_slots NFSv4.1: Shrink struct nfs4_sequence_res by moving sr_renewal_time NFSv4.1: Shrink struct nfs4_sequence_res by moving the session pointer NFSv4.1: Label each entry in the session slot tables with its slot number NFSv4.1: Simplify struct nfs4_sequence_args too NFSv4.1: Simplify slot allocation NFSv4.1: Clean up nfs4_free_slot NFSv4.1: Ensure that the client tracks the server target_highest_slotid NFSv4.1: Reset the sequence number for slots that have been deallocated NFSv4.1: Fix nfs4_callback_recallslot to work with dynamic slot allocation NFSv4.1: Don't confuse target_highest_slotid and max_slots in cb_recall_slot NFSv4.1: Allow the server to recall all but one slot NFSv4.1: Support dynamic resizing of the session slot table NFSv4.1: Allow SEQUENCE to resize the slot table on the fly NFSv4.1: Remove the state manager code to resize the slot table NFSv4.1: CB_RECALL_SLOT must schedule a sequence op after updating targets fs/nfs/callback.h | 2 +- fs/nfs/callback_proc.c | 15 +-- fs/nfs/callback_xdr.c | 2 +- fs/nfs/nfs4_fs.h | 6 +- fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 316 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- fs/nfs/nfs4state.c | 52 +------- fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c | 37 +++--- include/linux/nfs_fs_sb.h | 11 +- include/linux/nfs_xdr.h | 12 +- 9 files changed, 275 insertions(+), 178 deletions(-) -- 1.7.11.7 -- 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
