From: Andy Adamson <andros@xxxxxxxxxx> This is an expanded version of the "NFSv4 always compare stateids in nfs4_stateid_is_current" patch I sent on Feb 27. Found at Connectathon 2014 and NetApp internal testing. nfs4_stateid_is_current is used on the NFSv4 I/O path to determine if a stateid has changed. The idea is that if there is a stateid expire error such as NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID and the stateid used that induced the error has changed, then we can just resend the RPC from the call prepare state with the changed stateid instead of kicking off recovery as the changed stateid indicates it already had been recovered. This patch set fixes a false positive that resulted in an NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID infinite loop. Trond pointed out that the nfs4_select_rw_stateid -EIO error is special in that it indicates a lost lock. As I examined the use of nfs4_select_rw_stateid, I addressed some other errors in the use of nfs4_set_rw_stateid and friends in setattr and filelayout prepare functions. Just tested with connectathon tests. Will test more once I'm back in town... -->Andy Andy Adamson (4): NFSv4 propagate nfs4_stateid_is_current errors NFSv4 Check errors on stateid changed functions in I/O path NFSv4 _nfs4_do_setattr use zero stateid on lost lock NFSv4.1 Fail data server I/O if stateid represents a lost lock fs/nfs/nfs4filelayout.c | 10 +++-- fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 116 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ fs/nfs/nfs4state.c | 6 +++ 3 files changed, 100 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1 -- 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
