From: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@xxxxxxxxxx> These patches add server support for the NFS v4.2 operation READ_PLUS. I noticed a race condition in the 3rd patch when I start needing vfs_llseek() to determine if I should encode the next segment as either data or a hole. It is possible that the file could change on us between each of the seek calls, so we don't know if we are actually at a hole or data segment. I don't want to add new locks to the NFS server for this case, so instead I've decided to encode any "quantum data" segments as if they were actually data. I tested these patches using xfstests, specificially generic/075, generic/091, generic/112, generic/127, generic/210, and generic/263. Additionally, three new tests are run once READ_PLUS support has been added: generic/213, generic/214, and generic/228. These patches and the corresponding client changes are available in the [read_plus] branch of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/anna/linux-nfs.git Questions? Comments? Thoughts?
