Add a trace point that records SEQ4_STATUS flags returned in an NFSv4.1 SEQUENCE response. SEQ4_STATUS flags report backchannel issues and changes to lease state to clients. Knowing what the server is reporting to clients is useful for debugging both configuration and operational issues in real time. For example, upcoming patches will enable server administrators to revoke parts of a client's lease; that revocation is indicated to the client when a subsequent SEQUENCE operation has one or more SEQ4_STATUS flags that are set. Sample trace records: nfsd-927 [006] 615.581821: nfsd_seq4_status: xid=0x095ded07 sessionid=65a032c3:b7845faf:00000001:00000000 status_flags=BACKCHANNEL_FAULT nfsd-927 [006] 615.588043: nfsd_seq4_status: xid=0x0a5ded07 sessionid=65a032c3:b7845faf:00000001:00000000 status_flags=BACKCHANNEL_FAULT nfsd-928 [003] 615.588448: nfsd_seq4_status: xid=0x0b5ded07 sessionid=65a032c3:b7845faf:00000001:00000000 status_flags=BACKCHANNEL_FAULT Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.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.
