We currently can hit a deadlock (of sorts) when trying to use flexfiles
layouts with XFS. XFS will call break_layout when something wants to
write to the file. In the case of the (super-simple) flexfiles layout
driver in knfsd, the MDS and DS are the same machine.
The client can get a layout and then issue a v3 write to do its I/O. XFS
will then call xfs_break_layouts, which will cause a CB_LAYOUTRECALL to
be issued to the client. The client however can't return the layout
until the v3 WRITE completes, but XFS won't allow the write to proceed
until the layout is returned.
Christoph says:
XFS only cares about block-like layouts where the client has direct
access to the file blocks. I'd need to look how to propagate the
flag into break_layout, but in principle we don't need to do any
recalls on truncate ever for file and flexfile layouts.
If we're never going to recall the layout, then we don't even need to
set the lease at all. Just skip doing so on flexfiles layouts by
adding a new flag to struct nfsd4_layout_ops and skipping the lease
setting and removal when that flag is true.

Have a simple flex file server where the mds (NFSv4.1 or NFSv4.2)
is also the ds (NFSv3). I.e., the metadata and the data file are
the exact same file.
This will allow testing of the flex file client.
Simply add the "pnfs" export option to your export
in /etc/exports and mount from a client that supports
flex files.

This is a simple extension to the block layout driver to use SCSI
persistent reservations for access control and fencing, as well as
SCSI VPD pages for device identification.
For this we need to pass the nfs4_client to the proc_getdeviceinfo method
to generate the reservation key, and add a new fence_client method
to allow for fence actions in the layout driver.

Split the config symbols into a generic pNFS one, which is invisible
and gets selected by the layout drivers, and one for the block layout
driver.

Includes of pnfs.h in export.c and fcntl.c also bring in xdr4.h, which
won't build without CONFIG_NFSD_V3, breaking non-V3 builds. Ifdef-out
most of pnfs.h in that case.

Add a small shim between core nfsd and filesystems to translate the
somewhat cumbersome pNFS data structures and semantics to something
more palatable for Linux filesystems.
Thanks to Rick McNeal for the old prototype pNFS blocklayout server
code, which gave a lot of inspiration to this version even if no
code is left from it.

Add support for the GETDEVICEINFO, LAYOUTGET, LAYOUTCOMMIT and
LAYOUTRETURN NFSv4.1 operations, as well as backing code to manage
outstanding layouts and devices.
Layout management is very straight forward, with a nfs4_layout_stateid
structure that extends nfs4_stid to manage layout stateids as the
top-level structure. It is linked into the nfs4_file and nfs4_client
structures like the other stateids, and contains a linked list of
layouts that hang of the stateid. The actual layout operations are
implemented in layout drivers that are not part of this commit, but
will be added later.
The worst part of this commit is the management of the pNFS device IDs,
which suffers from a specification that is not sanely implementable due
to the fact that the device-IDs are global and not bound to an export,
and have a small enough size so that we can't store the fsid portion of
a file handle, and must never be reused. As we still do need perform all
export authentication and validation checks on a device ID passed to
GETDEVICEINFO we are caught between a rock and a hard place. To work
around this issue we add a new hash that maps from a 64-bit integer to a
fsid so that we can look up the export to authenticate against it,
a 32-bit integer as a generation that we can bump when changing the device,
and a currently unused 32-bit integer that could be used in the future
to handle more than a single device per export. Entries in this hash
table are never deleted as we can't reuse the ids anyway, and would have
a severe lifetime problem anyway as Linux export structures are temporary
structures that can go away under load.
Parts of the XDR data, structures and marshaling/unmarshaling code, as
well as many concepts are derived from the old pNFS server implementation
from Andy Adamson, Benny Halevy, Dean Hildebrand, Marc Eshel, Fred Isaman,
Mike Sager, Ricardo Labiaga and many others.
