Hi Chuck,
For NFS/RDMA, I think of the "failover" case where a device is removed, then a new one is plugged in (or an existing cold replacement is made available) with the same IP configuration. On a "hard" NFS mount, we want the upper layers to wait for a new suitable device to be made available, and then to use it to resend any pending RPCs. The workload should continue after a new device is available.
Really? so the context is held forever (in case the device never comes back)? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
