[PATCH 14/15] staging: lustre: osc: Use SOFT_SYNC to urge server commit

From: James Simmons
Date: Wed Apr 27 2016 - 18:21:49 EST


From: Prakash Surya <surya1@xxxxxxxx>

This change adds a BRW page flag, OBD_BRW_SOFT_SYNC. This flag is
intended to urge a server to commit a client's unstable pages to
stable storage. A client will add this flag to any BRW requests while
it is in a state where it has "many" unstable pages pinned in its cache.

The server, upon receiving a page with this flag set, *should* begin
an async commit. The idea being that, with the proactive async commit,
the client's pinned unstable pages will transition into a stable state
faster than they would have otherwise. Although, the server side portion
of this agreement is still unimplemented, so the OBD_BRW_SOFT_SYNC flag
will currently fall on deaf ears.
