[PATCH 0/4] NFSD: add support for NFSv4 write delegation

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

 



The NFSv4 server currently supports read delegation using VFS lease
which is implemented using file_lock. 

This patch series add write delegation support for NFSv4 server by:

    . remove the check for F_WRLCK in generic_add_lease to allow
      file_lock to be used for write delegation.  

    . grant write delegation for  OPEN with NFS4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE
      if there is no conflict with other OPENs.

    . add XDR support for sending and receiving CB_GETATTR.

    . handle GETATTR from another client on a file that has outstanding
      write delegation by using CB_GETATTR to get the latest change_info
      and size for the GETATTR reply.

Write delegation conflict with another OPEN, REMOVE, RENAME and SETATTR
are handled the same as read delegation using notify_change, try_break_deleg.
