[PATCH] NFSv4.1: Fix a potential layoutget/layoutrecall deadlock

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

 



If the client is sending a layoutget, but the server issues a callback
to recall what it thinks may be an outstanding layout, then we may find
an uninitialised layout attached to the inode due to the layoutget.
In that case, it is appropriate to return NFS4ERR_NOMATCHING_LAYOUT
rather than NFS4ERR_DELAY, as the latter can end up deadlocking.
