If the client is sending a layoutget, but the server issues a callback to recall what it thinks may be an outstanding layout, then we may find an uninitialised layout attached to the inode due to the layoutget. In that case, it is appropriate to return NFS4ERR_NOMATCHING_LAYOUT rather than NFS4ERR_DELAY, as the latter can end up deadlocking. 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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
