  • Note: When upper layer's read/write request cannot be fulfilled, the block
    layout driver shouldn't silently mark the page as error. It should do
    what can be done and leave the rest to the upper layer. To do so, we
    should set rdata/wdata->res.count properly.

    When upper layer re-send the read/write request to finish the rest
    part of the request, pgbase is the position where we should start at.

  • In blocklayout driver. There are two things happening
    while layoutcommit/cleanup.
    1. the modified extents are encoded.
    2. On cleanup the extents are put back on the layout rw
    extents list, for reads.

    In the new system where actual xdr encoding is done in
    encode_layoutcommit() directly into xdr buffer, these are
    the new commit stages:

    1. On setup_layoutcommit, the range is adjusted as before
    and a structure is allocated for communication with
    bl_encode_layoutcommit && bl_cleanup_layoutcommit
    (Generic layer provides a void-star to hang it on)

    2. bl_encode_layoutcommit is called to do the actual
    encoding directly into xdr. The commit-extent-list is not
    freed and is stored on above structure.
    FIXME: The code is not yet converted to the new XDR cleanup

    3. On cleanup the commit-extent-list is put back by a call
    to set_to_rw() as before, but with no need for XDR decoding
    of the list as before. And the commit-extent-list is freed.
    Finally allocated structure is freed.

  • If the directory contents change, then we have to accept that the
    file->f_pos value may shrink if we do a 'search-by-cookie'. In that
    case, we should turn off the loop detection and let the NFS client
    try to recover.

    The patch also fixes a second loop detection bug by ensuring
    that after turning on the ctx->duped flag, we read at least one new
    cookie into ctx->dir_cookie before attempting to match with
    ctx->dup_cookie.

  • nfs_mark_return_delegation() is usually called without any locking, and
    so it is not safe to dereference delegation->inode. Since the inode is
    only used to discover the nfs_client anyway, it makes more sense to
    have the callers pass a valid pointer to the nfs_server as a parameter.

  • If the task that initiated the sillyrename ends up being killed by a
    fatal signal, then it will eventually return back to userspace and end
    up releasing the i_mutex. d_move however needs to be done while holding
    the i_mutex.

    Instead of using d_move here, just unhash the old and new dentries to
    prevent them from being found by lookups. With this change though, the
    dentries are now incorrect post-rename and do not reflect the actual
    name of the file on the server. I'm proceeding under the assumption
    that since they are unhashed that this isn't really a problem.

    In order for the sillydelete to still work though, the dname must be
    copied earlier when setting up the sillydelete info, and the name must
    be recopied if the sillydelete info has to be moved to a new dentry.

  • The commit f02e8a6 sorts symbols placing each of them in its own elf section.
    The sorting and merging into the canonical sections are done by the linker.
    Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux
    (already linked) and all modules object files (which aren't linked yet).
    These aren't sanitized by the linker yet. That breaks modpost that can't
    detect license properly for modules. This patch makes modpost aware of
    the new exported symbols structure.

    Thanks to Arnaud Lacombe and Anders Kaseorg
    for providing useful suggestions about code.
