If a layout segment gets invalidated while a pNFS I/O operation is queued for transmission, then we ideally want to abort immediately. This is particularly the case when there is a large number of I/O related RPCs queued in the RPC layer, and the layout segment gets invalidated due to an ENOSPC error, or an EACCES (because the client was fenced). We may end up forced to spam the MDS with a lot of otherwise unnecessary LAYOUTERRORs after that I/O fails. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
