In version 2: This series separates support for async COPY (no inter support). Simple timings to demonstrate the usefulness of the async copy implementation. This is async "intra" SSC vs normal copy vs upstream sync SSC time ./nfscopy /mnt/1024MB.txt 0 /mnt/1024 0 10240000000 real 1m47.036s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.002s time cp /mnt/1024MB.txt /mnt/1024 real 3m10.121s user 0m0.060s sys 0m9.365s (existing "intra" client against "intra" server) time ./nfscopy /mnt/1024MB.txt 0 /mnt/1024 0 10240000000 real 2m45.975s user 0m0.022s sys 0m0.452s >From version 1 cover letter: Client sends an asynchronous COPY to the server (always). If server errs with ERR_OFFLOAD_NOREQS the copy will be re-sent as a synchronous COPY. If application cancels an in-flight COPY, OFFLOAD_CANCEL is sent to the source server. If server replies to the COPY with the copy stateid, client will go wait on the CB_OFFLOAD. To fend off the race between CB_OFFLOAD and COPY reply, we check the list of pending callbacks before going to wait. Client adds the copy to the global list of copy stateids for the callback to look thru and signal the waiting copy. If application cancels async COPY after reply is received, wait will be interrupted and client will send OFFLOAD_CANCEL to the server (sending it as an async RPC in the context of the nfsiod_workqueue). When the client receives reply from the CB_OFFLOAD with some bytes and committed how is UNSTABLE, then COMMIT is sent to the server. The results arep propagated to the VFS and application. Assuming that application will deal with a partial result and continue from the new offset if needed. Handling reboot of the destination server when client is waiting on the CB_OFFLOAD happens when SEQUENCE discovers that destination server rebooted. The open state initially is marked to be NFS_CLNT_DST_SSC_COPY_STATE during the COPY. Then during the recovery if state is marked as such, then look thru the list of copies for the server and see if any are associated with this recovering open, if so mark the copy rebooted and wake up the waiting copy. Upon wake up the waiting copy, will restart the copy from scratch. If CB_OFFLOAD returned an error and non negative value of partial copy and error is not ENOSPC, then ignore the error and send the commit and return partial result to the client to start the next copy.
