Hi Bruce, The following patches make a flex file server in which the mds and the ds are the same machine. And the same inode services both metadata and data. v4: - The addr len in a netaddr is INET6_ADDRSTRLEN + 8 v3: - Extra word help for selecting NFSD_FLEXFILELAYOUT - Do not allow WRITE permissions on an IOMODE_READ segment v2: - Remove patch 2: nfsd: Can leak pnfs_block_extent on error - Consolidate 3rd and 4th patch - Fix the rsize and wsize to come out of the rqstp as per Jeff's review comments - Sort the available layout types such that scsi beats block which beats flex file - Address the points brought up by Christoph in his review These patches are also in my flex_server branch at git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/loghyr/linux-nfs.git Thanks, Tom Tom Haynes (2): nfsd: flex file device id encoding will need the server address nfsd: Add a super simple flex file server fs/nfsd/Kconfig | 17 ++++++ fs/nfsd/Makefile | 1 + fs/nfsd/blocklayout.c | 2 + fs/nfsd/flexfilelayout.c | 133 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/nfsd/flexfilelayoutxdr.c | 115 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/nfsd/flexfilelayoutxdr.h | 49 ++++++++++++++++ fs/nfsd/nfs4layouts.c | 12 +++- fs/nfsd/nfs4proc.c | 2 +- fs/nfsd/pnfs.h | 4 ++ 9 files changed, 333 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 fs/nfsd/flexfilelayout.c create mode 100644 fs/nfsd/flexfilelayoutxdr.c create mode 100644 fs/nfsd/flexfilelayoutxdr.h -- 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
