From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The pNFS/flexfiles driver is capable of having a lot of outstanding I/O in the RPC layer when it flushes out the writeback data. If the server decides to recall or revoke the layout when this happens, then it takes a while for that I/O to complete. To speed things up, add an API to allow the flexfiles driver to cancel that I/O and hence return the layout earlier.
