[PATCH v1 0/7] Server-side NFS/RDMA changes for v4.11

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm dividing up the nfsd-rdma-rw-api series. For v4.11, here are the
first patches in that series. They should be non-controversial. The
remaining patches are still under review.

These are largely clean-ups, except for the last patch. Switching
completion polling from soft IRQ to a worker thread has a few
benefits:

- svcrdma's completion handlers invoke svc_xprt_put(). We discovered
recently svc_xprt_put() is supposed to be called only in a process
context. This will become more important when NFS/RDMA supports
multi-path.

- eventually we'd like to allocate pages for RDMA Read in the
completion handler, and not defer RDMA Read to svc_rdma_recvfrom.
Using GFP_KERNEL can sleep, which is not allowed in soft IRQ context

- several places where BH's are disabled can be converted to simple
spin_locks.
