If the client sends out a second OPEN for the same file (presumably because an application request caused the file to be opened again before the client could process the reply to the first open), then I think it should be OK for the server to send the delegation stateid again. If the new open caused a state change (for instance the delegation was upgraded from READ to WRITE) then the seqid for the delegation stateid should be bumped. If there was not state change, it really should be up to the server whether or not it bumps the seqid. However on the client side, we want to be able to consider that if the 2 open replies return the exact same delegation stateid, then we consider the second reply to be a no-op as far as our update of the internal state is concerned. If the seqid was bumped, the client needs to update its internal state. So all this patch series is doing, is setting up rules to allow us to enforce that case, and in particular to ensure that _if_ we send a DELEGRETURN before we process the reply to the second open, then we recognise that a successful DELEGRETURN means we no longer hold delegation state, no matter what the contents of the reply to the second open tells us. > On Thu, Oct 31, 2019 at 11:49 AM Olga Kornievskaia <aglo@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > On Thu, Oct 31, 2019 at 11:27 AM Olga Kornievskaia <aglo@xxxxxxxxx> > > wrote: > > > Hi Trond, > > > > > > This patch set produces the following in my testing.
