[PATCH 3.10 33/79] pnfs: Proper delay for NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT in layout_get_done

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Feb 11 2014 - 14:38:47 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ed7e5423014ad89720fcf315c0b73f2c5d0c7bd2 upstream.

An NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT is returned by server from a GET_LAYOUT
only when a Server Sent a RECALL do to that GET_LAYOUT, or
the RECALL and GET_LAYOUT crossed on the wire.
In any way this means we want to wait at most until in-flight IO
is finished and the RECALL can be satisfied.

So a proper wait here is more like 1/10 of a second, not 15 seconds
like we have now. In case of a server bug we delay exponentially
longer on each retry.

Current code totally craps out performance of very large files on
most pnfs-objects layouts, because of how the map changes when the
file has grown into the next raid group.

[Stable: This will patch back to 3.9. If there are earlier still
maintained trees, please tell me I'll send a patch]
